The Tabernacle of sinners; and the blood-bought sinner saved by grace is eternally secure. His soul is committed to Him who al- ways keeps His promise! The gate of the tabernacle faced the east, toward the sun-rising. Christ is the Source of all light; He is the Light of the World; and "in him is no darkness at all." One day He is coming again as "the Sun of righteousness ... with healing in his wings" (Mal. 4:2). My friend, do you know Him as your Light and Life? If not, will you look to Him for salvation, and be eternally secure by faith in His :finished work on the cross? The gate of the Jewish tabernacle has perished centuries ago, but the gate of salvation stands open, inviting you to enter today. The door of the tabernacle has perished; but Christ is the Door, "the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Heb. 13: 8) . The veil of the temple was rent in twain when He died on the cross; God did that-to open forever the way into His presence, through the cross of Jesus. No longer do we need the gate or the door or the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet, and :fine twined linen. The One of whom these beautiful hangings spoke has come! He has opened "a new and living way" into His presence-the way of the cross. There is "nothing be- tween" the redeemed soul and the Saviour! The gate of salvation, the door of fellowship, the veil that gave access into the very throne-room of God-these all stand open, forever open to the sinner who will be saved by God's grace. Christ is the gate; He is the Door; He is the veil! "Behold the Lamb of God! Behold, believe, and live; Behold His all-atoning blood, And lifc receive.
