The Blood Upon the Gold.

ON the holy place of God’s ancient tabernacle stood the golden altar with its four horns of gold. Once a year a blood stain was put upon these horns (Exod. 30:66And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. (Exodus 30:6))—a spot of blood on the shining gold. The message borne by that blood to us is, that none can enter God’s presence now as a worshiper, or go to dwell in His heaven hereafter, save in virtue of Christ’s death trusted by the soul. The blood is the only tale to the glory. Only the sinner who is made clean from sin enters there.
