Lord's Day 35 (2018). Henry, 2 of 2. “The degree of strictness with which this ordinance [of the sabbath] is observed, or the neglect shown towards it, is a good test to ascertain the degree of spiritual religion in any land. And as this matter is connected with the national peace and prosperity of every land, as well as of Judah, we have need to take heed to ourselves. Let all who possess authority and influence use it, and by their own example, by attention to their families, let them strive to check the progress of this evil, that true religion may be revived, reformation promoted, national prosperity preserved, and above all that souls may be saved.” Matthew Henry, on Jeremiah 17:19–27. Danæu: "Christ is born, is circumcised, dies, rises again for us every day in the preaching of the Gospel." "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24.
