And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. – Isaiah 66:21

The priests and the Levites enjoyed the privilege of drawing near to God—nearer than the rest of the people in that typical dispensation. While the people stood without, the Levites were busy inside. One of them, the chief of the tribe, and the High Priest before the Lord for all the tribes, was permitted and commanded to go into the most holy place within the veil; and you know that the holy places made with hands are figures of the true, even of heaven itself. In like manner there is a people to be found on earth at this day whom God has chosen to draw near unto Him. In Christ Jesus they who sometimes were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. The same precious blood that is applied to their conscience is sprinkled on the mercy-seat; therefore, they have access to the Father. Oh! happy they, who, like the priests and Levites, love dwelling in the Lord’s house, and praising Him, who can say—

“Here, Lord, I find settled rest
While others go and come;
No more a stranger or a guest,
But like a child at home.”

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations: we are a people near unto Thee made nigh by affinity with the Son of God, brought nigh by the blood, led nigh by the Spirit of God, kept nigh, and rejoicing to be nigh—for herein is our honor and comfort, to be near unto God; made priests and Levites, because claimed as God’s portion, prepared for God’s service, and admitted to a near familiarity with Him. ~ C.H.
