“‘Who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle?’  The flesh that is given to man’s soul for it to dwell in is called God’s tabernacle.  Who will be found to treat this flesh as though it were not his own?  Sojourners, when they hire land that is not their own, till the estate at the will of the owner.  So, too, to us the care of the flesh has been entrusted by bond, for us to toil with diligence therein, and make it fruitful for the use of Him Who gave it.  And if the flesh is worthy of God, it becomes verily a tabernacle of God, accordingly as He makes His dwelling in the saints.  Such is the flesh of the sojourner.  ‘Lord, who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle?’  Then there come progress and advance to that which is more perfect.  ‘And who shall dwell in thy holy hill?’  A Jew, in earthly sense, when he hears of the ‘hill,’ turns his thoughts to Sion.  ‘Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?’  The sojourner in the flesh shall dwell in the holy hill, he shall dwell in that hill, that heavenly country, bright and splendid, whereof the Apostle says, ‘Ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,’ where is the general assembly of  ‘angels, and church of the first-born, which are written in heaven.’” Heb. xii. 22, 23.
