For our consecration for the priesthood we need to enjoy Christ as the sin offering and minister Him as the sin-dealing life to the saints, thus bearing the iniquity of God’s people. Part of the consecration of the priests was that there was a bull offered as a sin offering, which signifies the richer and […]
Experiencing Christ as the Reality of the Offerings, the Total Picture of God’s Economy
If we read Leviticus 1:1 – 6:7 we see that the sequence of the five offerings is according to our practical experience, while the sequence in 6:8-7:38 is according to the total picture of God’s economy.
