Bible Note: "It is this that men will labor after, and have labored for, even from the beginning of the world, to be too much addicted to the things of sight and sense. They will worship Christ, but they must have a picture before them. They will adore Christ, but they must bring His body down to a piece of bread. They must have a presence, and so, instead of raising their hearts to God and Christ in a heavenly manner, they pull down God and Christ to them. This the pride and base earthliness of man will do. And therefore saith Christ, 'Touch Me not' in that manner; it is not with Me now as it was before. We must take heed of mean and base conceits of Christ. What saith Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:16? 'Henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more.' Christ after the flesh was of such a tribe and of such a stature, and had such gifts and qualities. What is that to me? Christ is now Lord of lords and King of kings. He is glorious in heaven, and so I conceive of Him." --Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) |
