Light, Testimony, and Rest

I want to say a little, as the Lord may help me, on Light, Testimony, and Rest.
The candlestick—light;
The trumpet— testimony;
The ark— rest.
One of the first proofs that a person is really saved, and consciously set for God in the world, is his knowledge of the fact that God has left him down here to be for Himself. After we were converted, why did not God at once take us home to heaven? One object was, that we might be a reproduction of Christ. In Philippians 2:5 we read: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,” and, chapter 1:21, “To me to live is Christ.” Do I get up in the morning with the thought, there is one thing that I am left here for, that God may see in me Christ lived over again?
