Two foolish people were traveling in a four wheeled wagon. Noticing that the wagon moved heavily, they examined it, and found that a wheel was missing. One of the foolish people sprang out, and ran forward along the road, saying to everyone he met, "We have a lost wheel. Have you seen one ?" At last a wise man said to him, "You are looking in the wrong direction! You should seek your wheel behind the wagon, not in front of it."

This is the mistake which the Jews have been making all these centuries. They have been looking forward instead backward. It may be said that the four wheels of Hebrew history are Abraham, Moses, David , and Jesus. The Jews have been looking into the future when they should have been looking into the past. This is why they have not found their fourth wheel.

But God be thanked that the sons of the New Covenant -- Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: -- have found Jesus, that most important wheel of all. Abraham, Moses, and David are, after all, only types and forerunners of Jesus. Thank God, we have found our brother Jesus, our all in all, who is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption (1 Cor 1:30); in whom great present and for the still greater hereafter. And now we look with longing eyes and joyful hearts towards the brightness of His appearing.
