THE OPEN DOOR.
(Trinity Sunday.)
REV. iv. 1.
"A door was opened in Heaven."
When Dante had written his immortal poems on Hell and Purgatory, the
people of Italy used to shrink back from him with awe, and whisper,
"see the man who has looked upon Hell." To-day we can in fancy look on
the face of the beloved Apostle, who saw Heaven opened, and the things
which shall be hereafter. We have summed up the great story of the
Gospel, and have trodden the path of salvation from Bethlehem to
Calvary. We have seen Jesus, the only Son of God, dying for our sins,
and rising again for our justification, and ascending into Heaven to
plead for us as our eternal great High Priest. We have heard of the
coming of God the Holy Ghost, the gift of the Father, sent in the name
of the Son. To-day, the Festival of the Blessed Trinity, Three
Persons, yet one God, we are permitted to gaze for a moment through the
open door, on the Home of God, yes, and the Home of God's people, who
are redeemed with the Precious Blood of Christ.
