Now here I close the history of the life of Moses, and of these Expository Sermons on the books which bear his name. Very interesting and profitable to myself have been my meditations upon the Lord's dealings with him, and with the extraordinary people whom he led out of Egypt. I trust that, through the blessing of God, these expositions may have helped to increase your knowledge of the divine word, your adoration of that glorious God whose works and attributes have therein been set before you, and your love for that mighty, merciful, and blessed Redeemer, who was so early promised to the world, who so often appeared as the angel of the covenant to several of his chosen people, and who has been manifested to us as the incarnate Word, coming in human form and flesh, to seek and save that which was lost, and to be the Deliverer from sin, Satan, death, and hell, of all who believe in him.

To him we must look through every part of the sacred scriptures. They all testify of Moses wrote of Christ, and so did

him.

every other inspired penman. Yes, brethren, we must look beyond Abraham and Moses, and David and the Prophets, and the Evangelists and Apostles; we must look through types and shadows and ceremonies and ordinances and sacraments, to that one, almighty, all-sufficient Jesus, who is the sum and substance, the life and reality of them all.

Yes, dear brethren, and above all things we must look to his death. That is the great event upon which the whole of our salvation depends. It was by the suffering of death that he bare our punishment and expiated our sins. The offering of his blood was the precious ransom by which he redeemed his people. And oh! my brethren, think how different were the circumstances of his death unto those under which Moses died. Moses died in peace and without pain; but Jesus died in excruciating misery. Moses died without any earthly friend near him, yet in the presence of God; but Jesus died amidst the bitterest revilings and taunts of surrounding enemies, and even compelled

to cry,

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." See however the contrast in one great particular. The body of Moses was never found; but the body of Jesus was raised again from the dead, and shown to be alive by many infallible proofs. Yes, and in that body he ascended into heaven, and there he now sits at the right hand of the majesty on high. And if you believe in him and live to him and die in him, your bodies also shall be raised from the grave, shall be taken up to heaven, shall be fashioned like unto Christ's glorious body, shall be reunited to the immortal soul, and so shall you be ever with the Lord. The Lord grant that such may be the happy termination of all our lives and labours. Amen and Amen.

THE END.
