FOREWORD
In Isa. 45:22 the French Bible says Turn unto Me", where the English Bible has "Look unto Me". The literal meaning of the Hebrew word is "Turn the face", and it is often translated 'turn' in the English Bible. In some of the passages quoted from the Bible we have translated the French literally, instead of quoting from the English Bible.
Read: Ezek. 1:26-28 and Matt. 27:25-61.
After the reading of so important a portion of the Holy Scriptures one ought not to add anything. One fears to tarnish the truths by a miserable commentary. It would be better to imitate the Prophet Ezekiel, who fell on his face to adore the great God Whom he had seen, in this glorious vision, presiding at the government of the universe; and Who here in Matthew has become for us the Man of sorrows.
Perhaps we can adore Him this evening together, being gathered around the throne, to gaze upon Him, the Lamb Who has been slain. And we shall have the privilege of adoring Him during all eternity. But that glorious instant is not yet arrived, the last stone has not yet been added to the building. What a great privilege it is for us, to be able to speak of Him this evening. Certainly, the words, the expressions fail us, but we may count on His marvelous grace to enable us to do it.
