“This is the Most Holy Place.”

“This is the Most Holy Place.”
(Ezekiel 41:4; NIV. Please read Ezekiel 38-43.)

A measurement will be taken … a distinction will be made … between the holy and the common … to identify what the Sovereign Lord counts as “holy”.

Such a measurement was given to Moses in the blueprints of the tabernacle. Of one certain space it was said, “This is the Most Holy Place”.

Such a measurement was given to Solomon in the blueprints of the temple. Of one certain place it was said, “This is the Most Holy Place”.

Such a measurement was given to Jesus in the blueprints of the church. Of one certain (purchased by blood) group it is said, “This is the Most Holy Place”.

To those of us … who by the grace of God have been purchased out of every tribe, tongue, people and nation by the blood of the Lamb … who have been measured and so designated … it has been said, “This is the Most Holy Place”. 

ON SECOND THOUGHT: I think I have some understanding as to how all of us would react if we were in the presence of the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle or temple. Would we not show a reverence – a fearful respect – an awe-inspired appreciation for the presence of God in that place? How can we treat the church – the sanctuary of the Lord God – the Most Holy Place with anything less?
