Sacrificing, the Offering, the Elect

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi Joe,

I was rereading Ray's article 'Twelve God-Given Truths to Understanding His Word',
and came across this about Jesus concerning the offerings.
It is interesting when you consider everything points to Jesus, and is sombolic of Him.

Jesus did not fulfill the sacrificed sin offering only. Jesus was not merely one offering, but the many offerings, burnt offerings, the meat offering, the peace offerings, the trespass offering, and the sin offering. Jesus also prefigured the priest doing the offering, the meaning of each offering, the compartments and furniture of the tabernacle, the bread, the candles, the curtain, the ark of the covenant, the tabernacle itself, and the whole nation of Israel—Jesus prefigures all and FULFILLED ALL.

Kat,

That pretty much sums it all up. Christ was / is the ultimate sacrifice. Was - because he paid it and IS - because he is in us and we are paying it symbolically still.

Does that make sense,

Joe, this study is wonderful. :)

I hope no one thinks I am minimizing or saying the sacrifice of Jesus is the same or equal to that of the elect and eventually all His Sons and Daughters, that is far from what I am trying to point out. In a nutshell the flesh (carnality) is on the alter and the Consuming Fire purifies the sacrifice until it is pleasing to God.

I don't have the time to elaborate now but there is more here, I appreciate your comments Kat, Bobby, Arcturus and Darren.

Darren, yes I believe you are getting my drift.


Deu 4:24  For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Zec 13:9  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as  silver is refined, and will try them as  gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and  will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Mal 3:2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
 
Mal 3:3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
 
Mal 3:4  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

Tit 2:14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Bobby, the verses you quoted in Romans line up perfectly with this idea.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Joe,
  Thanks for sharing this.  I've never thought about this at all and you've got me thinking.  I tend to avoid the OT  :-[...I have enough trouble with the NT.

Much love,

Hello Joe

From LOF part 15-C

But He knows the way that I take: when He (God) has tried me (Hebrew: 'tested me)" Job 23:10

So my conclusion regarding sacrifice is this....we all are going to be (sacrificed) tested, tried, pruned or... destroyed (aion).....

In this case, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego....we....need....Christ....in ....our....lives... as He was in the fire, loosening the bonds that bound Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. HE liberated them to walk and talk with HIM....while yet in the fire....

The fire, or the sacrifice are inescapable.....just as the judgement is unavoidable.....The judgement now or latter that is the question....

...I read this today and I quote "Establish in me an unwavering faith, Lord, so that I will know that when I walk with You even the refining fire provides the perfect light for the step I'm on"..........
