How much religion, tradition, and ceremony can a man know and observe and yet not know God?

How much religion, tradition, and ceremony can a man know and observe and yet not know God?  Well, the Jews observed thousands of passovers yet never saw CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER.  They slew thousands of lambs and never saw CHRIST, THE LAMB OF GOD.  They kept thousands of sabbaths and never knew the rest of CHRIST, OUR SABBATH.  They ordained thousands of priests and never saw CHRIST, THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST.  They actually carried the mercy-seat on their shoulders yet never came to CHRIST, OUR MERCY-SEAT.  They ate the manna and drank from that Rock but never tasted the Bread and Water of life- CHRIST JESUS.  Oh, Lord, open my eyes to see HIM who is “all and in all!”             Pastor Henry Mahan
