Psalm 48
Concise Complete
The glories of the church of Christ.
Verses 1-7
Jerusalem is the city of our God: none on earth render him due honour except the
citizens of the spiritual Jerusalem. Happy the kingdom, the city, the family,
the heart, in which God is great, in which he is all. There God is known. The
clearer discoveries are made to us of the Lord and his greatness, the more it is
expected that we should abound in his praises. The earth is, by sin, covered
with deformity, therefore justly might that spot of ground, which was beautified
with holiness, be called the joy of the whole earth; that which the whole earth
has reason to rejoice in, that God would thus in very deed dwell with man upon
the earth. The kings of the earth were afraid of it. Nothing in nature can more
fitly represent the overthrow of heathenism by the Spirit of the gospel, than
the wreck of a fleet in a storm. Both are by the mighty power of the Lord.
Verses 8-14 We
have here the improvement which the people of God are to make of his glorious
and gracious appearances for them. Let our faith in the word of God be hereby
confirmed. Let our hope of the stability of the church be encouraged. Let our
minds be filled with good thoughts of God. All the streams of mercy that flow
down to us, must be traced to the fountain of His loving-kindness. Let us give
to God the glory of the great things he has done for us. Let all the members of
the church take comfort from what the Lord does for his church. Let us observe
the beauty, strength, and safety of the church. Consider its strength; see it
founded on Christ the Rock, fortified by the Divine power, guarded by Him who
neither slumbers nor sleeps. See what precious ordinances are its palaces, what
precious promises are its bulwarks, that you may be encouraged to join
yourselves to it: and tell this to others. This God, who has now done such great
things for us, is unchangeable in his love to us, and his care for us. If he is
our God, he will lead and keep us even to the last. He will so guide us, as to
set us above the reach of death, so that it shall not do us any real hurt. He
will lead us to a life in which there shall be no more death.
