"Strangers are come into the
sanctuaries of the Lord's house."—Je
51:51
In this account the faces of the Lord's people were covered with shame, for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone. Everywhere about us we see like cause for sorrow. How many ungodly men are now educating with the view of entering into the ministry!
What a crying sin is that solemn lie by which our whole population is nominally comprehended in a National Church! How fearful it is that ordinances should be pressed upon the unconverted, and that among the more enlightened churches of our land there should be such laxity of discipline.
If the thousands who will read this portion shall all
take this matter before the Lord Jesus this day, He will interfere and avert
the evil which else will come upon His Church. To adulterate the Church is to
pollute a well, to pour water upon fire, to sow a fertile field with stones.
May we all have grace to maintain in our own proper way the purity of the
Church, as being an assembly of believers, and not a nation, an unsaved
community of unconverted men.
Our zeal must, however, begin at
home. Let us examine ourselves as to our right to eat at the Lord's table. Let
us see to it that we have on our wedding garment, lest we ourselves be
intruders in the Lord's sanctuaries. Many are called, but few are chosen; the
way is narrow, and the gate is strait. O for grace to come to Jesus aright,
with the faith of God's elect. He who smote Uzzah for touching the ark is very
jealous of His two ordinances; as a true believer I may approach them freely,
as an alien I must not touch them lest I die.
Heartsearching is the duty of all
who are baptized or come to the Lord's table. "Search me, O God, and know
my way, try me and know my heart."
