Daily Sacrifice, May 7 (43:10)
“Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities and let them measure the pattern”— Ezekiel 43:10.
THE reason that God gives for showing this marvelous vision of the millennial temple to Israel is that it might make them ashamed of their iniquities as they measured the pattern and entered by faith, into the blessedness that was in store for them in the latter days, and that they might abhor themselves and realize how many sins and failures had robbed them of blessings in the days that had gone. So as we today contemplate the things which God has prepared for those that love Him, we may bow in contrition before the Lord and be ashamed of the sins that in days gone by hid His face from us and caused us to fail to enter into any true apprehension of our blessed portion in Christ. Our inheritance is reserved in heaven for us. The Father’s house above shall be our eternal home.
