so heavenly and indissoluble, the action <strong>of</strong> His priesthood so<br />

unceasing and unbroken, and the working <strong>of</strong> His Spirit so sure<br />

and so divine, that it is indeed possible for us to dwell all the<br />

day in the enjoyment <strong>of</strong> God s love and fellowship. It is a<br />

life-state He has entered into, has opened to us, and lives to<br />

keep us in. Let us believe it. Yes, let faith be the one habit <strong>of</strong><br />

our soul a faith that honours our King-Priest on the throne in<br />

expecting from Him what is impossible to man, what is possible<br />

only to God, to keep our hearts all the day within the veil be<br />

fore the face <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

Christ is the door. <strong>The</strong> door <strong>of</strong> what? the door <strong>of</strong> the<br />

heart <strong>of</strong> God. Through Him I can enter in and abide in God s<br />

love, can dwell in God and God in me. He is the living door,<br />

who takes me up, and brings me in to God. He does it most<br />

surely, because He is High Priest in the power <strong>of</strong> the endless<br />

life.<br />

7. A life nigh to God : This is the better hope, which enters into that which is within the veil.<br />

Hold fast the glorying <strong>of</strong> this hope. Give diligence unto the fulness <strong>of</strong> the hope: hope maheth<br />

not ashamed.<br />

2. God near, the world far ; the world near, God far. Jesus entered the presence <strong>of</strong> God in<br />

the path which He opened up for us.<br />

That path was humility and meekness, obedience and death.<br />

It cost Jesus entire and intense self-surrender to open the path and enter in. He has won for<br />

us the power to follow Him, and communicates it to all upright souls in the power <strong>of</strong> an endless<br />

life.<br />

3. Nigh to God ! Is this thy life ? Is this thy desire ? Is this thy expectation ? It is tha<br />

salvation Christ has prepared for thee, and waits to glue thee.
