Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Ezekiel 20:40-44

Nothing can be more striking in proof that love and grace and mercy are at the bottom of all the Lord's corrections to His people, than what those verses express. The Lord's holy mountain, namely, the Gospel Church, shall be the place where Jesus will bring all His redeemed, and where they shall all be accepted in Him. The sweet savour of His person, blood, and righteousness, will be the one gracious cause wherefore they shall all be gathered, and all blessed, and made everlastingly happy.
