Exodus 38:31

REFLECTIONS

Reader! still keep your eye steadily fixed on the Lord Jesus, all the way through, while looking over the furniture of the tabernacle. And as Moses wrote of Christ, may it be your happiness and mine, in every part of his writings, to behold him. Here, would I say to my soul, while looking at the altar of the burnt offering, here I see Jesus, the altar of all my offerings, represented. In him, and his sacred person, righteousness, and salvation, do I find all that can be needed, as an offering for sin. In the laver of regeneration, by his Holy Spirit, let me wash and be clean. And as the people offered willingly, in the Jewish tabernacle, so Lord Jesus, having found thee, and thy righteousness, I would willingly part with everything beside, and desire to count all but dung and dross, that I may win Christ.
