“My soul desired the first ripe fruit.” We would not be merely the green blade; we desire to be the whole corn in the ear; we would not simply show forth the blossoms of repentance and the young buds of struggling faith, but we would go on to maturity and bring forth fruit unto perfection, to the honor and praise of Jesus Christ.

Nor let us forget Gethsemane, where “His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” At His circumcision, at Gethsemane, at the cross, we see the blood-sprinkled veil. And all this for us; that the blood which was thus required at His hands should not be required of us.

God began with seeking worshippers, but he goes on to seek temples; or rather, in the sense which we are now to consider, in seeking worshippers he was seeking temples; and in preparing worshippers, he was preparing temples.
