"Joshua
the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord."--Zechariah 3:1
In Joshua the high priest we see a picture of each and every child of
God, who has been made nigh by the blood of Christ, and has been taught to
minister in holy things, and enter into that which is within the veil. Jesus
has made us priests and kings unto God, and even here upon earth we exercise
the priesthood of consecrated living and hallowed service. But this high priest
is said to be "standing before the angel of the Lord," that is,
standing to minister. This should be the perpetual position of every true
believer. Every place is now God's temple, and his people can as truly serve
him in their daily employments as in his house. They are to be always "ministering,"
offering the spiritual sacrifice of prayer and praise, and presenting
themselves a "living sacrifice." But notice where it is that Joshua
stands to minister, it is before the angel of Jehovah. It is only through a
mediator that we poor defiled ones can ever become priests unto God. I present
what I have before the messenger, the angel of the covenant, the Lord Jesus;
and through him my prayers find acceptance wrapped up in his prayers; my
praises become sweet as they are bound up with bundles of myrrh, and aloes, and
cassia from Christ's own garden. If I can bring him nothing but my tears, he
will put them with his own tears in his own bottle for he once wept; if I can
bring him nothing but my groans and sighs, he will accept these as an
acceptable sacrifice, for he once was broken in heart, and sighed heavily in
spirit. I myself, standing in him, am accepted in the Beloved; and all my
polluted works, though in themselves only objects of divine abhorrence, are so
received, that God smelleth a sweet savour. He is content and I am blessed.
See, then, the position of the Christian--"a priest--standing--before the
angel of the Lord."
