The Sanctuary and Atonement
By Editor
☞ WHAT a flood of light the subject of the Sanctuary throws upon the atonement! See an illustration of this in Bro. Waggoner's article on the atonement in this number. Who can conceive a more sublime and beautiful scene, than the great Jehovah looking down upon his holy law as it reposes in the ark in Heaven, and then to save man from the operation of his immutable justice, the mercy-seat sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice intervening between him and his broken law! The Christian may contemplate it, till his heart melts in gratitude to God for the unspeakable gift of his Son. Blindly indifferent to its own welfare must be that soul that does not love to contemplate this scene, and hard the heart that is not melted into tenderness thereby.
