The Gospel In Leviticus [Paperback]

Reader, you are invited here to take your stand within the tabernacle's court. A crowded and a busy scene appears. Many worshipers bring many offerings. All is activity. But all the active zeal has one great object-to honor God in God's appointed way. Each offering in this court is a full page of Gospel-truth. Christ in His grace and work is the golden key to open every part. Leviticus is Calvary fore-shown. Calvary is Leviticus unfolded. The one casts forward the morning ray. The other pours down the mid-day blaze. But the early and the brighter beams stream from one Sun-Christ Jesus. The brazen altar is the herald of the cross. The cross re-echoes to the brazen altar's voice. In a long train of ceremonial teaching the Burnt offering takes the lead. Let this, then, first be noticed. An offerer comes. Mark what he brings. If his offering be from the herd, it must be an unblemished male. Lev. 1:3. It must be the choicest produce from his pastures-the primest flower from his fields. There must be strength in fullest vigor, and beauty without one alloy. Such are the properties required.
