From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"075-God Is a Sanctuary |
"Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen,
and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little
sanctuary in the countries where they shall come."
(Ezekiel 11:16) Banished from the public means of grace, we are not removed from the grace of the means. The
Lord who places His people where they feel as exiles will Himself be with them and be to them
all that they could have had at home, in the place of their solemn assemblies. Take this to
yourselves, O ye who are called to wander! God is to His people a place of refuge. They find sanctuary with Him from every adversary,
He is their place of worship, too. He is with them as with Jacob when he slept in the open
field, and rising, said, "Surely God was in this place," To them also He will be a sanctuary of
quite, like the Holy of Holies, which was the noiseless abode of the Eternal. They shall be
quiet from fear of evil. God Himself, in Christ Jesus, is the sanctuary of mercy. The Ark of the Covenant is the Lord
Jesus, and Aaron's rod, the pot of manna, the tables of the law, all are in Christ our sanctuary.
In God we find the shrine of holiness and of communion. What more do we need? O Lord, fulfill
this promise and be ever to us as a little sanctuary!
