- After Ezekiel had surveyed the temple of God, he had a vision
of the glory of God. When Christ crucified, and the things
freely given to us of God, through Him, are shown to us by the
Holy Ghost, they make us ashamed for our sins. This frame of
mind prepares us for fuller discoveries of the mysteries of
redeeming love; and the whole of the Scriptures should be opened
and applied, that men may see their sins, and repent of them. We
are not now to offer any atoning sacrifices, for by one offering
Christ has perfected for ever those that are sanctified, (Heb
10:14); but the sprinkling of his blood is needful in all our
approaches to God the Father. Our best services can be accepted
only as sprinkled with the blood which cleanses from all sin.
