上帝是至聖所

經文: 「所以你當說：耶和華如此說：我雖將以色列全家遠遠遷移到列國中，將他們分散在列邦內，我還要在他們所到的列邦，暫作他們的聖所。」（以西結書十一︰16）

雖然你因失寵且被逐至他鄉，因而興嘆「時不我予」，但你仍不會離開恩典的源頭。上帝對那些自覺被放逐的人，與他們同在的恩典格外顯明，就像從前他們在本族本鄉時一樣。你們這些被呼召離鄉背井的人，請牢記這節經文吧。

上帝是祂百姓在逆境中的避難所，這蔭庇處也成為百姓敬拜祂的一個聖地。上帝與祂的子民相遇、同在，就如同當年雅各睡在野地起來說，「上帝真是在這裡！」對屬上帝的人而言，上帝像是聖所中的至聖所，在祂面前，人人都當肅立靜默，遠離罪惡。

上帝在耶穌基督裡，是慈悲的聖所，耶穌基督是做中保的方舟，而亞倫的杖，嗎哪罐，十誡的石版，都在基督這聖所裡，祂已為我們開了一條又新又活的路，幔子已裂兩半，靠著耶穌，我們可以進到上帝面前，我們還需要什麼別的呢﹖願上帝成就祂的應許！


God is a Sanctuary

Scripture: "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 quiet, 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!
