him while Joseph made himself known to his brethren And he wept aloud and the Egyptians and house of Pharoah heard And Joseph said unto his brethren I am Joseph Doth my Father yet live And his brethren could not answer him for they were troubled at his presence And Joseph said to his brethren Come neer me I pray you And they came neer I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold into Egypt This Joseph is a Type of Christ and his discovering himself to his brethren is the manner that Christ takes to reveal himself to his brethren Christ cannot many times refrain himself he cannot forbear but discover and reveal himself to his brethren that have sold him into Egypt he must discover himself to his brethren as Joseph did as Joseph wept to see his brethren so doth Jesus Christ to see his brethren he weeps aloud to see us yea he weeps for joy to see his brethren before he discovers himself to them and afterwards he saith I am Ioseph I am your Ioseph one of your fellow-brethren Doth my Father yet live in you When Christ speaks thus to the soul the Soul cannot answer him because it is troubled at his presence And as Ioseph said to his brethren Come neer so Christ bids us come neer We are ready when we have a discovery of Christ to stand afar off and to be afraid of him and then Christ saith Come neer as if he should say Why stand you a loof off Come neer and to encourage them to come neer he speaks more plainly to them now I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold into Egypt but before he said I am Joseph onely and then the soul comes neer to Christ O how sweet this is Christ shall not no will not onely reveal himself but he can do no otherwise he cannot refrain himself and therefore Christ saith unto them Be not grieved nor angry with your selves that ye sold me into Egypt for God did send me before you to preserve life See how Christ endeavours to take away all grief and anger from his brethren by telling them that God sent him into Egypt to preserve life Selah So that confess him to be in you though you do not feel him within you yet if you believe he is in you you may confess him But what is it to confess him To confess him is to acknowledge him come in the flesh and come within you 1 Joh. 4. 2. Hereby know yee the Spirit of God every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God 1 Joh. 4. 15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God God dwels in him and he in God Confessing there is acknowledging Phil. 2. 11. And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father There is the same word So that to confess him is to acknowledge him How Thus thou art within me I do subscribe to the truth of it that it is so even so But yet I cannot confess him saith the soul The word of faith is in thy mouth to make thee to confess that Christ is within thee and to say It is true Lord as I have believed thou art within me There is the acknowledgement of the soul There is not onely a confession of the mouth required of the soul but a belief of the heart likewise that God raised Christ from the dead which I do intend a little to speak to Dead here is to be understood grave hell that state that Jesus Christ was in of whom it was said Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell neither wilt thou suffer thy holy One to see corruption Psal. 16. 10. It is not enough to confess Christ to be within us but to believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead if we would be saved our Faith must reach further then Christ in us it must reach to the Father also See 1 Pet. 1. 21. Who by him do believe in God that raised him from the dead and gave him glory that our faith and hope might be in God See further in Act. 13. 32 33 34. And we declare unto you glad tidings how that the promise which was made to our Fathers God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children in that he hath raised up Iesus again as it is also written in the second Psalm Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead now no more to return to corruption he said I will give him the sure mercies of David A faith that saves that is a faith that is accompanyed with Salvation is in God as one that raised Christ from the dead for there is in Gods raising Christ Remission of sins and justification from all things as sin iniquity and the like from which we could not be justified by the Law of Moses Act. 13. 38 39. And besides to us there is an imputation of righteousness which was imputed to Abraham if we believe on him that raised up Iesus our Lord from the dead who for this very end was raised from the dead that is to say for our justification Rom. 4. 24 25. God would have us believe in him as one that raised Christ from the dead because in Gods raising Christ he raised us through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead and the uncircumcision of our flesh hath he quickened together with him having forgiven us all trespasses blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us and took it out of the way nayling it to the cross and having spoyled principalities and powers he made a shew of them openly triumphing over them all A glorious slaughter of all our enemies is to be seen in Gods raising Christ from the dead And then that in Eph. 2. 5 6. In Gods raising Christ we though we were dead in sins yet were quickened together with him and were raised up together with him and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Iesus which was Gods rich mercy and great love and his end in it was That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us in Christ Iesus Eph. 2. 4 7. Now God many times suffers us to have the sentence of death in our spirits he suffers us to be pressed out of measure beyond strength insomuch that we despair of life that we should not trust in our selves but in God that raised the dead Quest But you will ask me First How God raised Christ from the dead Secondly What it is to be believe it Answ. For the first how God raised Christ It was 1. By the glory of the Father Rom. 6. 4 9 2. By the Spirit Rom. 8. 11. 3. By his mighty power Eph. 1. 20.
