The title of the "Breaker" was most appropriately given to the Lord Jesus, (i) because it was through His agency alone that the power of sin was broken; (ii) because, by His death, the distinction between Jews and Gentiles was for ever removed; (iii) because, by His death He destroyed death, and by His triumphant resurrection He has given an earnest of what He will one day accomplish for all who sleep in Him
