In the review of the finishing the Jewish tabernacle, let every Reader of the account call to mind the glorious work of redemption our great High Priest hath finished by his complete atonement. How costly the work! how great the undertaking! how precious thy building, thou dear Redeemer, when the temple of thy body, being according to the Jewish cruelty, supposed to be destroyed, thou didst raise it again in three days. Lord Jesus! raise up thy power in my soul. Consecrate all I have to thy service. And may I know the power of thy resurrection, and the fellowship of thy sufferings, being made conformable to thy death!
