But this is not all. There is, indeed, no _greater_ witness than
these; but there is _other_ witness. Look into your own hearts, ye
children of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, and you will find
recorded there: "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God;
in it thou shalt not do any work." "For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord;
I will put _my laws_ into their mind, and write them in their hearts."
Here there is not the least hint of any exception. The same moral law
that was written "with the finger of God," on tables of stone, is now
written "by the Spirit of the living God," on the fleshly tables of
_your_ hearts. Yes, brethren, turn your eyes inward, and you will
read, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou
shalt not do any work." If you say, We have sought this law, but find
it not--O brethren, you have not "sought it carefully with tears." It
is hidden among the rubbish, and you will never find it, till that be
removed. But I speak what I do know, when I assure you, that it _is_
recorded there; and in the day of the Lord Jesus, if not sooner, you
will find it there, to your unspeakable joy and satisfaction. O Lord,
"open thou our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things out of thy
law."
