Psalms 45:5. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
Christ has far-reaching power. He can not only smite with the sword, but he has skill with the bow, and he can dart an arrow to those that are far off, that they may feel his power. Oh! that he would do so now, that those who are leagues away from him may, to their own surprise, find a shaft come right into their heart, that they may fall under the power of Christ, and cry out to him to come and heal the wound that his own arrow has made. He will do it, for it is written, "I wound, and I heal"; and wherever Christ wounds in mercy, he heals in mercy too.
