The Holiest of All By Andrew Murray

314 abe IboHest of ail
testament ever lives, to put us in full possession of the inherit
ance, and to be Himself its chiefest measure and joy; as Minister
of the true sanctuary to keep us in God s presence ; as Mediator
of the new covenant to keep our heart in the full enjoyment
of all its
blessings.
1.
Everyone can understand houi absolutely a last will or testament needs a death. This
must help us to believe that a covenant needs It as much for the redemption of transgres
sions. As sure as the death of a maker of a testament puts the heir In complete possession
of the promise, so surely has the death of the Mediator made a perfect redemption from all
transgression.
2. Let us get firmly hold of this : In virtue of His death the first covenant could be set
aside and the second dedicated uiith His blood. The second covenant has entirely to do with
keeping our heart and life In a right state for entering the sanctuary and abiding there. Let
me believe It can and shall be fulfilled.
