      CHAPTER ONE: THE BURNT OFFERING

      THOUGH THE EARLY CHAPTERS of the book of Leviticus might appear to be difficult and dry to less experienced students of the Bible, yet to those who meditate upon their shadows are disclosed some of the very precious truths that relate to the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the offerings of this book this is particularly true.

      In this opening chapter, we draw attention to the burnt offering, that among the offerings with which God commences, and that in which, as is generally accepted, we are presented with shadows of Christ as He gave Himself to God as an Offering and a Sacrifice for an odour of a sweet smell.

      Firstly, we note the opening words of Leviticus 1. And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting (verse 1). Here we find the LORD in His house, a house that had been built both as to material and design in agreement with the divine requirement. God was the Architect, but the materials, the craftsmanship and the assembling were the responsibility of men and women who learned the will of God and carried it into effect. This certainly has its voice for us today.

      Attention has frequently been drawn to the contrast between God’s speakings here and those on Mount Sinai. There are no terrors here of a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and ... blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words ... and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake. God has taken up His place over the mercy-seat between the cherubim, and in grace and mercy He can communicate His will for His people through His servant Moses. Still, be it remembered, He is always the thrice holy God, and approach to Him must always be marked with that reverence and godly fear which are due to Him before whom the seraphim veil their faces and their feet. Leviticus 10 makes very clear that presumptuous approach will be met with devouring fire.

      The worshipper who came to God could bring his oblation from the herd, the flock, or the turtledoves and pigeons. This was a divine provision to meet the condition of the offerer; and it speaks to us of varying levels of understanding and appreciation of the Person and work of Christ. All do not have the same spiritual attainment, but it’s pleasing to know that the LORD is willing to accept from us according as a man hath, not according as he hath not.

      If his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish. The male of the herd was the highest in value of the offerings shadowing Christ. Whether from herd or flock, the burnt offering must be a male, and so the bullock speaks of the Lord Jesus in the highest aspect of His work on the cross of Calvary. While it is preciously true that Christ died for our sins and trespasses it is not this that is set out in the shadows of the burnt offering. Rather it is Christ who came forth to do the will of God, going up to the cross to give Himself in sacrifice to God. It has been fittingly said that the will of God included giving Himself to save sinners, but the type in the burnt offering, though atonement is made, does not raise the matter of sin, it is a sweet savour offering ascending as incense unto God.

      What is of particular delight to the offerer is that he has acceptance in the oblation. It shall be accepted for him. He shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD (verses 3,4). Perfection marked the offering, and the worshipper as he stood by the altar could rejoice to know that he stood before God in that perfection. In a loftier sense today we who lay our hands on the head of our Victim can rejoice that He hath made us accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:5 KJV). In this connection we read, as He is, even so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). If this were more fully apprehended how our love for Him would be increased! What room is there for fear, as John writes of it, when we realize that all the perfections of Christ are reckoned unto us? He has been made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption. All that God could wish to find in His people He finds as He sees us in Christ our great Burnt Offering. Doubtless a similar truth is expressed in the word of God through Balaam concerning Israel, He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel (Numbers 23:21).

      Before we look into the death of the victim in Leviticus 1 let us note the importance of the command, he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting (verse 3). There at the door of God’s House was His altar, and the Israelite was enjoined not to offer his oblations elsewhere. There was one God, one House, and one altar. Alas, that Israel failed to observe this command! "Though I
