Ezekiel 44:28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and you shall give them no possession in Israel… Christ is all in all to His people. He is all their strength, wisdom, and righteousness. They are but the clouds irradiated by the sun, and bathed in its brightness. He is the light which flames in their grey mist and turns it to a glory. They are but the belt and cranks and wheels; He is the power. They are but the channel, muddy and dry; He is the flashing life which fills it and makes it a joy. They are the body; He is the Soul dwelling in every part to save it from corruption and give movement and warmth. "Thou art the organ, whose full breath is thunder; I am the keys, beneath Thy fingers pressed." (A. Maclaren, D. D.). Parallel Verses KJV: And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession. |
