Here we have a further relation of the house, and the ordinances of it; and all with an eye to Christ; to whom all his people are priests, and ministering servants to the Church of the living God. And it is very blessed, when our long lost, wandering, and sinful souls, are brought into an heartfelt acquaintance with Christ's fulness, and our own insufficiency. Oh! how truly blessed is it to see here, as in all the other parts of God's holy word, that holiness to the Lord is in Christ, and only to be obtained in and by him. Precious Jesus! thou art the holiness of thy people: in thy light shall we see light. In Jesus's holiness we are found; and Christ is made of God to us, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; for then will be our glorying, as is most suitable it should be, in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
