Keyser<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The work of Christ is so unfathomable to the human mind that God has given us numerous<br \/>\npictures of it in the Old Testament in order to help us appreciate the multifaceted glory<br \/>\nof the Messiah. Due to past abuses of typology, in recent days the typological<br \/>\nsignificance of many of the great events of the Bible has been either ignored or reviled<br \/>\nby many Bible teachers; nevertheless, the New Testament itself bears witness to the<br \/>\npresence of types and shadows in its ancient counterpart.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe Lord Jesus Himself<br \/>\nsanctioned the typological interpretation of the Scriptures in His discourse to the two<br \/>\ndisciples on the road to Emmaus (Lk. 24:25&#8211;27) Likewise, by inspiration the writer to the<br \/>\nHebrews employed many types in exhorting his audience to appreciate the superiority of the<br \/>\nLord Jesus above all else (e.g. Heb. 8-10.) Other scriptures could be cited to prove this<br \/>\npoint, but the aforementioned verses should be ample for justifying the study of Biblical<br \/>\ntypology.<\/p>\n<p>Among the many types of the Old Testament perhaps few are as comprehensive as the<br \/>\nLevitical offerings. In these five offerings we have a well-rounded view of Christ&#8217;s work<br \/>\nand the consequent benefits to the believer. In the initial instructions concerning the<br \/>\nofferings, the burnt offering stands first on the list. This position is no accident, but<br \/>\nrather has great significance to the careful student of Scripture. This offering speaks of<br \/>\nthe Lord Jesus presenting Himself wholly to God. From the human standpoint, a repentant<br \/>\nsinner normally thinks of the truths that the offerings symbolize in reverse order (i.e.<br \/>\nbeginning with the trespass and sin offerings and proceeding onward to the burnt<br \/>\noffering.) This notwithstanding, the burnt offering aspect of the Lord&#8217;s death is the<br \/>\nbasis of all of the other facets of Christ&#8217;s redemptive work. Without the complete<br \/>\npresentation of Himself to God there could be no redemption, propitiation, forgiveness,<br \/>\netc. From the divine perspective, the burnt offering character of the Lord&#8217;s death is<br \/>\nfundamental to all of the other sacrifices, and therefore, is first discussed in Leviticus<br \/>\n1.<\/p>\n<p>The burnt offering&#8217;s Hebrew name, olah, comes from a root meaning &#8220;ascending&#8221;;<br \/>\nthis speaks of the death of the Lord Jesus coming up before God. Like the meal and peace<br \/>\nofferings, the burnt offering was referred to as a &#8220;sweet savour&#8221; (Lev.<br \/>\n1:9,13,17; the author likes the New American Standard&#8217;s rendering: &#8220;a soothing<br \/>\naroma.&#8221;) These three offerings present the work of Christ without emphasizing the sin<br \/>\nbearing aspect; consequently, the holy God, who despises all sin, found them especially<br \/>\npleasing.<\/p>\n<p>It is beautiful to consider how the offerings were first given. ne book of Exodus ends by<br \/>\nspeaking of God&#8217;s awesome shekinah glory resting upon the Tabernacle. While such a scene<br \/>\ninspires wonder, it does not present a welcome for men who are tainted by sin! The<br \/>\nIsraelites could not approach &#8220;the dwelling&#8221; (the literal meaning of the Hebrew<br \/>\nword for &#8216;Tabernacle&#8221;), for their sin kept them from a relationship with the Holiest<br \/>\nBeing in the Universe. Like their ancestors Adam and Eve, their consciences were inclined<br \/>\nto tell them to run from the pillar of fire that hovered over the previously mentioned<br \/>\nstructure, rather than draw near and commune with their Creator.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike its predecessor, Leviticus commences with a far different tone; it begins by<br \/>\nsaying: &#8220;And the Lord called&#8230;&#8221; (interestingly, this phrase is the name of the<br \/>\nbook in the Hebrew Torah.) The nineteenth-century scholar S. H. Kellogg noted the<br \/>\ndifference between Exodus and Leviticus in these words: &#8220;The first words from Sinai<br \/>\nhad been the holy law, forbidding sin with threatening of wrath the first words from the<br \/>\ntent of meeting are words of grace, concerning fellowship with the Holy One maintained<br \/>\nthrough sacrifice, and atonement for sin by the shedding of blood. A contrast this which<br \/>\nis itself a Gospel!&#8221;1 How precious it is to know that the Divine heart longed to<br \/>\ncommune with His creatures, rather than sovereignly execute judgment without possibility<br \/>\nof forgiveness. Based on the work of His Son, God can call to His redeemed ones and bid<br \/>\nthem come near to worship Him. We must never forget, however, that this would not be<br \/>\npossible apart from the burnt offering aspect of the work of the Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>As to the sacrifice itself. the offerer was instructed to bring an unblemished male &#8220;of the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock.&#8221; (Lev. 1:2) These three classes<br \/>\nof animals were non-carnivorous and ceremonially clean, speaking of the Holy One who did<br \/>\nnot take the lives of others, but &#8220;gave His life a ransom for many.&#8221;2 (Matt.<br \/>\n20:28) The person bringing the offering was then told to place their hands upon the head<br \/>\nof the animal, in front of the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. In the ancient world, this<br \/>\naction signified complete identification on the part of the offerer with the offering; in<br \/>\nother words, this innocent victim was taking his place. The Hebrew word that is translated<br \/>\n&#8220;lay&#8221; in verse four, really means to &#8220;to lay the hand as to rest or lean<br \/>\nheavily upon&#8230;&#8221;; thus it pictures the complete reliance of the offerer upon the<br \/>\nsacrifice.3 Likewise, the believer completely relies on the voluntary presentation of the<br \/>\nLamb of God for his acceptance before God.<\/p>\n<p>The first physical component of the sacrifice that is mentioned is the blood; throughout<br \/>\nthe Old and New Testaments, this vital fluid is used as a picture of life. (e.g. Lev.<br \/>\n17:11,14) Although Christians delight to sing hymns like &#8220;There is a fountain filled<br \/>\nwith blood,&#8221; &#8220;Power in the blood,&#8221;and &#8220;Precious, precious, blood of<br \/>\nJesus,&#8221; it is God the Father who possesses the supreme appreciation of the shed blood<br \/>\nof the Lord Jesus Christ. Though thrilled by the redemption that we have in Christ Jesus,<br \/>\nour hearts and minds cannot enter into the pleasure that God received from seeing His Son<br \/>\ncompletely fulfill His will at Calvary.<\/p>\n<p>The offering was flayed and cut into pieces before being placed on the brazen altar. This<br \/>\naction suggests that the Lamb of God was subjected to careful scrutiny of the tiniest<br \/>\nportions of His being. How precious it is to know that the Lord Jesus was wholly devoted<br \/>\nto His Father in mind, body, and spirit. He alone could say &#8220;The Son can do nothing<br \/>\nof himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also<br \/>\ndoeth the Son likewise&#8221; and &#8220;I have glorified thee [i.e. the Father] on the<br \/>\nearth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.&#8221; (Jn. 5:19; 17:4) The<br \/>\ntotal consecration of the inward motives and will of the Lord Jesus is seen by the<br \/>\npresence of the head, fat, and inward parts that were burned on the altar. Interestingly,<br \/>\nthe inwards and legs of the sacrifice were washed with water before being offered up to<br \/>\nGod. As water in Scripture frequently typifies the Word of God, we may conclude that this<br \/>\nspeaks of the complete accordance that existed between the Lord Jesus and the Bible.<br \/>\nThroughout His life, He performed certain actions in order that the Scriptures might be<br \/>\nfulfilled. When tested by Satan in the Judean Wilderness the Lord Jesus repeatedly met<br \/>\neach challenge with the words: &#8220;It is written&#8230;&#8221; This pattern of obedience did<br \/>\nnot end at Calvary; rather the Gospels tell us of various events surrounding the<br \/>\ncrucifixion that were done in order that the prophecies might be fulfilled. (e.g. Mk.<br \/>\n14:49; 15: 18; Jn. 19:24,28)<\/p>\n<p>While other offerings provided a portion for the priests or the offerer, the burnt<br \/>\noffering was entirely reserved for God. The only component of the animal that was not<br \/>\npresented to the Almighty on the altar was the skin. This reminds us that if the Lord<br \/>\nJesus had not offered Himself up to God in complete perfection there could be no remedy<br \/>\nfor our sin. Thanks be to God that Christ was the whole burnt offering, and thus brought<br \/>\npleasure and satisfaction to the righteous heart of His Father.<\/p>\n<p><em>Endnotes<br \/>\n1. S. H.
