John 10:24-39 Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.… Plutarch, in relating Alexander's wars, says, that when he came to besiege a certain people who dwelt upon a rock, they jeered him, and asked him "whether his soldiers had wings or not; unless your soldiers can fly in the air we fear you not." Such is the safety of God's people; he can set them upon a rock, so high that no ladder can be found long enough to scale their habitations, nor any artillery or engine strong enough to batter them down, so that unless their adversaries have more than eagle's wings to soar higher than God Himself, they cannot do them the least annoyance; their place of defence is the munition of rocks, safe enough from all dangers.
