I say, that instead of merely saying, “I am a God of mercy,” God teaches it to us by sending us a Person, and by redeeming us by that Person, and when any one looks at that Person he sees the mercy of God in Him. When Paul saw the priest in his garments of glory and beauty, and the altar, he understood what they meant; he sees a sacrifice, and it speaks volumes to him; he sees a holy place, and he sees the veil divided, and he sees the mercy-seat in the presence of God, and he says, “It is all Christ,” my Christ is the priest, my Christ is the sacrifice, my Christ is the rent veil, my Christ is the sprinkled blood, my Christ is the open way, my Christ is all.
