1. Lord.The Question. Jehovah, who shall be permitted to have fellowship with thee? A sense
of the glory of the Lord and of the holiness which becomes his house, his
service, and his attendants, excites the humble mind to ask this solemn
question. Where angels bow with veiled faces, how shall man be able to worship
at all? The unthinking may imagine it to be a very easy matter to approach the
Most High, and when professedly engaged in his worship they have no
questionings of heart as to their fitness for it; but truly humbled souls often
shrink under a sense of utter unworthiness, and would not dare to approach the
throne of the God of holiness if it were not for him, our Advocate, who can
abide in the heavenly temple, because his righteousness endures forever. Whoshall dwell in thy holy hill? On the grounds of law no mere man can dwell with
God, for there is not one upon earth who answers to the just requirement of the
Lord. We must know from the Lord of the tabernacle what are the qualifications
for his service, and when we have been taught by him, we shah clearly see that
only our spotless Lord Jesus, and those who are conformed to his image, can
ever stand with acceptance before the Majesty on high.
