Luke14:15
15 And when one of them that sate at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Whether this Person had any gross Conceptions of the Kingdom of God, as a state of external happiness, and sensible satisfactions, I cannot say, (tho it be the opinion of some valuable Interpreters) he might mean no more then, Blessed is he that shall come to Heaven, and enjoy the Coelestial pleasures and satisfactions there, for that Blessed state is called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and Christ spake to his Disciples, in this Dialect, when he spake of drinking Wine with them in his Kingdom. But this passage, both lets us know the good influence of spiritual discourse, to set the Tongues of others on Work, and also it lets us see, what good Meditations may be founded, almost upon any Subjects, if we have any heart thereunto. This gives our Saviour an occasion to put forth the following Parable.
