Psalms 95:8-11

The Holy Ghost hath given his decided comment upon this scripture, with reference to the church, Hebrews 3:4, and adverts to the circumstances of Israel at the waters of Massah and Meribah, Exodus 17:1. No doubt, there was much unbelief in this rebellion of Israel, particularly with respect to Christ; for the Holy Ghost saith that the Gospel was preached unto them. Therefore this was the sin referred to in the rejection of Christ: Behold I stand upon the Rock, saith God. And Paul was commissioned to tell the church; that that Rock was Christ. And wherefore is that story incorporated in such an hymn of praise to Christ as this is, but to say the same to us? Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you a heart of unbelief, in departing, from the living God. Compare Exodus 17:6; with 1 Corinthians 10:4; Hebrews 3:12.
