1.  Centre all in him, and lead to him as the great promise.

2.  Are founded all upon him, who is the only Mediator of the covenant of promises.

3.  Are confirmed all by him, and made yea and amen in him, 2 Cor. i. 20.  He confirmed the promises made to the fathers, Rev. xv. 8.

4.  Are all dispensed and given out by him, who is the executor of his own testament, and the great dispensator of all that we need; so that what we ask of the Father he giveth it himself, John xiv. 13, 14.

Seventhly, He is the Truth, in that he fully answereth all the hopes and expectations of his people.  He shall not be found a liar unto them, whatever Satan may suggest unto them, or a misbelieving heart may prompt them to conceive, and their jealousy may make them apprehend; and whatever his dispensations may now seem to say.  In end they shall all find, that he is the truth, fully satisfying all their desires; and granting all that ever they could hope for, or expect from him.  They shall at length be satisfied with his likeness, Psalm xvii. 15; yea, abundantly satisfied with the fatness of his house, Psalm xxxvi. 8; and with his goodness, Psalm lxv. 4; and that as with marrow and fatness, Psalm lxiii. 5.  One sight of his glory will fully satisfy, and cause them to cry out, enough!  Jeremiah is now saying, as once he did in the bitterness of his soul, through the power of corruption and temptation, (chap. xv. 18.) “wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?”

Eighthly, He is the Truth, in opposition to all other ways of salvation:  for,

1.  There is no salvation now by the law of works, that covenant being once broken cannot any more save; the law cannot now do it, in that it is weak through the flesh, Rom. viii. 3.

2.  There is no salvation now by the law of Moses without Christ:  hence Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, did not attain to the law of righteousness, because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law, Rom. ix. 31, 32.  They went about to establish their own righteousness, and did not submit themselves unto the righteousness of God, Rom. x. 3.

3.  There is no salvation by any thing mixed in with Christ, as the apostle fully cleareth in his epistle to the Galatians.

4.  There is no salvation by any other way or medium, which mart can invent or fall upon, whereof there are not a few, as we shewed above:  “for there is not another name given under heaven, by which we can be saved,” but the name of Jesus, Acts iv. 12.  No religion Will save but this.

So that he is the true salvation, and he only is the true salvation; and he is the sure and safe salvation:  such as make use of him shall not be mistaken nor disappointed, Isaiah xxxv. 8.

Ninthly, He is the Truth, in respect of his leading and guiding his people in the truth:  hence he is called “a teacher from God,” John iii. 2; and one that “teacheth the way of God in truth,” Matt. xxii. 16.  “A prophet mighty in deed and word,” Luke xxiv. 19.  And in this respect he is the truth upon several accounts.
