I. THE WORK IN WHICH HE HAD BEEN ENGAGED: the bringing up the ark to Jerusalem. A glorious work —

1. In itself.

2. As typical of Christ's ascension into heaven (Psalm 24., 47., 68., 132.).

II. THE WORK TO WHICH HE RETURNED: "to bless his house."

1. To obtain blessings for them by his prayers.

2. To render himself a blessing to them by his conduct.Learn —

1. How highly we are privileged. The ark, even the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, is present in the midst of us.

2. In what way we should improve our privileges. We should endeavour to communicate the benefit of them to others.
