Zeal

Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary

We can have no lively idea of this word, but as it is made use of by the Lord Jesus Christ. But when we hear that blessed Holy One, by the spirit of prophecy, crying out, "the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." (Psalms 69:9) And when we behold in confirmation of it, such a miracle as scourging from the temple the multitude of those who performed it—a miracle, properly considered, almost as great as any Christ performed on earth; such a view of Jesus may, but nothing else can, give a lively idea of zeal! (John 2:13-17)
