But law is under love . The golden mercy-seat exactly covered and hid the tables, as they no longer leaped from crag to crag, but lay quietly beneath it. An ark without a covering, and from which tables of stony law looked out on one, would be terrible indeed. But there need be no dread to those who know that God will commune with them from above a mercy-seat which completely meets the case and is sprinkled with blood. It is Christ that died.
Grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life.
But ah, no blood of goat or calf can speak the priceless value of his blood, by which we have access into the holiest. This document is from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library at Calvin College. Last updated on May 27, 1999.
