Bible Question:
Numbers 28-30 Why would it be important to restate at this time the details of all the sacrafices to be made during the year? |
Bible Answer: 'In these words the reader is furnished whith a key to unlock the whole of this portion of the book of Numbers. It is as distinct and simple as possible. "MY offering," "MT bread" "MY sacrifices" "A SWEET SAVOR UNTO ME." All this is strongly marked. We may learn here, without an effort, that the grand leading thought is, Christ to Godward. it is npt sp much Christ as meeting our need -- though surely He does most blessedly meet that -- as Christ feeding and delighting the heart of God. It is god's bread -- a truely wonderful expression, and one little thought of or understood. We are all sadly prone to look at Christ merely as the procuring cause of our salvation, the One through whome we are forgiven and saved from hell, the channel through which all blessing flows to us. He is all this, blessed forever be His name. he is the Author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him; He bore our sins in His own body on the tree; he died, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God; He saves us from our sins, from the their present power, and from theor future consequences. All this is true; and consequently, throughout the whole of the two chapters which lie open before us, and in each distinct paragraph, we have the sin-offering introduced (see chap 28:15,22,30; 29:5,11,16,19,22,25,28,32,34,38). thirteen times over is mention made of the sin-offering of attonement, and yet for all that it remains true and obvious that sin or atonement for sin is not by any means the great prominent subject. ... there are 71 verses in the entire section-, and out of these, thirteen allude to the sin-offering, and the remaining fifty-eight are occupied with sweet-savor offerings. In a word, then, the special theme here is, God's delight in Christ. Morning and evening, day by day, week after week, fromone new moon to another, from the opening to the close of the year, it is Christ in His fragrence and preciousness to Godward." CHM |
