I. Christ in the prosecution of His redemptive work is refreshed and invigorated because HE DRINKS FROM THE INEXHAUSTIBLE FOUNTAIN OF HIS OWN LOVE. He still prosecutes His work of mercy, because "He drinks of the brook in the way — the brook of His eternal inexhaustible love!"

II. Christ may he said to drink of the brook in the way, because OF THE PERFECTLY RIGHTEOUS WORK IN WHICH HE IS ENGAGED. "All His victories are righteous in their end, and in their means." The consciousness of the rectitude of His entire work is a "brook from which He drinks in the way."

III. THE JOY IN PROSPECT OF THE FINAL SALVATION OF ALL THE SUBJECTS OF HIS KINGDOM is another "brook from which He drinks in the way."

IV. Christ may be said to "drink of the brook in the way," from THE CERTAINTY HE HAS OF A FINAL VICTORY OVER ALL HIS FOES. "He must reign." All enemies shall be vanquished. Christ is "expecting" this.

(John Lewis, B.A.)
