The Lord a Sanctuary
Isaiah 8:12-14
Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.…


I. THE DUTY. "Sanctify the Lord of hosts," etc.

II. THE PROMISE. "He shall be for a sanctuary." Consider the preciousness of this promise in the time when all human help will be vain. We refer to the last day, when Christ shall come "to judge both the quick and the dead."

(W. Horwood.)
