APPENDIX The principle of which In have interpreted the Varieties of the Offerings is one which appears to lie open to an objection. My principle, it will be remembered, is that the Varieties in the Typical Offerings represent different aspects or apprehensions of Christ’s One Offering: the different offerings giving us different aspects of His [...]

Chapter 7 THE OFFERINGS AS A WHOLE Union with Christ is that which essentially constitutes a Christian. Nor is this union something changeful or visionary: it is a reality wrought by the Holy Ghost. The Church is “in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 12:5; II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 1:22; Eph. 1:3; In Thess. 4:16; In John 5:20, [...]

Chapter 6 THE TRESPASS-OFFERING We now come to the TRESPASS-OFFERING. Closely allied in its broad principle to the Sin-offering, in certain particulars it as decidedly differs from it. These particulars, though few in number, are broadly marked, and full of teaching. The apprehension of them will bring out very definitely that distinct aspect of Christ [...]

Chapter 5 THE SIN-OFFERING We now come to OFFERINGS NOT OF A SWEET SAVOUR. Of this class are the Sin and Trespass-offerings; the object of which is to present Christ’s Offering to us in an aspect wholly distinct from those already dwelt upon. Hitherto we have met no thought of Sin in the offerings. The [...]

Chapter 4 THE PEACE-OFFERING We now come to the sacrifice of PEACE-OFFERINGS, the last offered of all the typical offerings. Accordingly, we shall find it revealing to us that aspect of Christ’s offering, which is generally the last apprehended by the believer. And I may add, that as it was “burnt upon the Burnt-offering” (See [...]

Chapter 3 THE MEAT OFFERING We now come to the Meat-offering, which gives us another aspect of the perfect offering of Jesus. We may consider it, first, in its contrasts to the other offerings; that is, as giving us one definite and particular aspect of His offering: and then, secondly, in its several varieties; that [...]

Chapter 2 THE BURNT-OFFERING In the preceding pages, I have endeavoured to point out the distinctive character of the types in some of the earlier books of the Old Testament. We are now in a better position to estimate the distinctions in the types of this book, Leviticus. Speaking generally, the types of Leviticus, as [...]

Chapter 1 THE TYPES IN GENERAL “The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.” Such was the witness of one of old; and the saints of God can yet set their seal to it. Great, indeed, are the works of the Lord; sought out, and sought into, [...]

PREFACE He, who spake as never man spake, opened His mouth in parables. With His example before us, I have often been surprised that the inspired parables of the Old Testament should have been so neglected; the more as we see from the writings of St. Paul, not only how closely these emblems are connected [...]
