The Christian does not go back to former mercies (as the Jew rightly would), because he always stands in present favor, even if Satan have got hold of his mind for a time. He returns into the sunshine of it, when the cloud that arose out of his own heart is passed. The Jews had early sovereign blessings and are right to remember them when they have been cast off, though it be not forever. The Christian is never cast off. Hence, he has not to remember but enters again into the enjoyment of divine favor which has never ceased.
