Brethren, let's turn to Leviticus
chapter 1. Leviticus chapter 1. If you missed the message
Thursday night, I would encourage you to go back and listen to
the message out of Leviticus chapter 1. I went into a lot
more detail. showing how the Old Testament
is full of pictures and types, showing that from the New Testament. You can read Hebrews 9, Hebrews
10, it will show you these things. Go back and listen to that message
if you can, if you missed it. I want to pick up here this morning
in verse 3. The Lord says here, speaking
to Moses, who's a mediator, who's delivering the word to the Lord's
people. And he says, if his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the Lord. I mean, if his offering be a
burnt sacrifice of the herd. Now, God is holy. This is what we have to understand.
God is holy. That's God's number one chief
attribute. God's holy. He's holy. His holy nature is offended by
transgression of His law. It's offended. In His majestic
holiness, God never regards sin with indifference. Never. It shall be punished in every
sinner. There is no sinner, no sinner
that shall go unpunished. We will either be punished in
our substitute, the Lord Jesus Christ, or we'll bear that punishment
ourselves. But every sinner will be punished. Because every sinner has broken
God's law. And God's law must be fulfilled.
His justice must be upheld. His wrath must be appeased. But by God's grace, thank God
for His grace. By God's grace, He provided the
offering by which He accomplished this work of satisfying His justice
and saving His people from our sins. He provided that offering. Now, I've titled this message,
Offering the Mighty Bullock. And the reason I've titled it
that is, The Bullock in the Ceremony of the Burnt Offering. That's
what we're looking at here today. This is the Bullock and it's
in the Ceremony of the Burnt Offering. The Bullock in the
Ceremony of the Burnt Offering, like all the other sacrifices
and offerings, was given by God to show a picture of His Son
who accomplished the work of satisfying God and satisfying
His divine justice. That's what He's given this picture. Christ who satisfied justice
for God and for His people. And as we go through the verses,
verses 3 through 9, first of all we're going to behold Christ.
We're just going to ignore first that there's a person bringing
this sacrifice. We're going to just look at Christ.
And then secondly, we're going to go back and behold the sinner
coming to God through faith in Christ. Now first of all, let's
focus our attention on how this offering pictures Christ. Leviticus
3.3 says, If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd. Later he calls it a bullock.
The word bullock is a generic name for all the larger horned
cattle. Bullock is for the cattle that
had horns. And when I say larger cattle,
I'm talking about an ox and a bull. We're talking about large cattle. The bullock pictures Christ in
many, many ways. The bullet was the most valuable
offering. It was the very best one had
to give. It was the very best. If you
go through these ceremonies in the law, one reoccurring pattern
you're going to find is everything that God receives has to be the
best. God won't take anything from
you and me but the best. Your best might be better than
my best. That doesn't matter. But each
sinner must give God our best. Our best. God won't have any
of this, you know, well, we got this piece of land and, you know,
it won't grow crops and we can't put a business in on it, we can't
make any money on it. Let's donate that to the Lord.
They build a church building on that. God says, keep it. It's mine anyway. You keep it.
You keep it. God will have your best. The
priests wore the best clothes. God provided them. The offerings
were the best offerings. Everything in that tabernacle
from the foundation to the last piece of material that finished
it off. Everything in that tabernacle
pictured Christ and it was the best. It was the very best. But
when it comes to us coming to God, to be accepted of God, You
and I don't have anything we can give to God that will measure
up to what God measures as the best. It has to be Christ Jesus
alone. Now when I say this picture is
the very best offering, I'm talking about Christ because Christ is
God's only begotten Son. God gave His very best. He gave His very best. This bullet
was the strongest of the offerings. You had sheep, and you had turtle
doves, and pigeons, and goats, but the bullock, this strong
ox, was a mighty, mighty animal. And the scripture says of Christ,
God said, I have laid help on one that is mighty. He's the
mighty God. Christ is the mighty God. He's
the mighty redeemer. He's the mighty mediator. Wherefore,
he also is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto
God by him because he's mighty. Now this bullet typifies Christ
because Christ is the holy God man. The sinless holy God man. In verse 3 he says this offering
must be a male without blemish. Now there are only two representatives
in this world. All men are going to stand in
one of these two representatives. You might get tired of hearing
me say this to you but this is the gospel. I have to say it
to you. I have to repeat it to you. There's Adam and there's
Christ, the last Adam. Adam was a representative man. He represented all those who
would be born of him. And you say, well, that's everybody. That's who he represented. He
represented all men. And Adam was a male. He was a
man. And he was made upright, holy, without sin. But a blemish
was found in Adam. He transgressed in the garden.
He broke God's law. And Romans 5 tells us, Wherefore,
by one man's transgression, sin entered in, and death by sin. And so death passed upon all
men. It passed upon all men. We were
born of His corrupt nature, so that not only Not only are we
legally breaking the law in Adam, but in our own sin nature we're
unholy. God's not going to send you to
hell because of Adam's transgression. He's going to send us to hell
if we go to hell because of our own transgression. We come forth
from our mother's womb speaking lies because that's what our
nature is. It's a liar. Well, there's your first Adam.
He was a male and the blemish was found in him. But now the
second representative is Christ Jesus. He represents all who
shall be born of Him. Is that everybody? No. You know that's not everybody.
There were men in hell when He laid down His life. He didn't
die for them. He didn't die for them. This
is His people. Those who shall be born of His
Spirit. Just like it was of Adam. And
He's a male. But he is without blemish. Perfectly
holy, spotless, sinless. Made under the law, proven under
the law to be holy. Just like that bullock had to
be put up and examined and gone over from his head to tail to
make sure there was no blemish in him. It pictured Christ who
is without sin, spotless, perfect. Now why did he have to be without
sin? Why was that so necessary? Why did Christ... Christ had
to be born of a virgin because He wasn't born of Adam's seed.
So He wasn't corrupt in His mother's womb like me and you are. He
wasn't conceived by corrupt seed so that He was conceived in sin
like we are. He's holy. Well, He had to be
holy. He had to be proven holy under
the law because that was the only way He could present Himself
to God and take the place of His sinful people. and do the
work of redemption that had to be done. He had to be spotless.
That's pictured in this male without blemish. And then this
offering pictures Christ in that it had to be a voluntary willing
offering. Look at verse 3. He says this
offering shall be offered of His own voluntary will. Now that's speaking of the person
who brings it. But this is true of Christ as
well. God the Father He gave Christ. Did He give this offering
willingly? Yes. He gave His Son willingly. And Christ Jesus, when He came
forth, He gave Himself voluntarily. He gave Himself willingly. He
said, No man takes my life from me. I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down.
I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received
of my Father. Why is that important? because
it couldn't be coerced. If it was coerced, it wouldn't
be of a willing heart. It wouldn't be of a holy heart.
You see, not only is he without blemish and righteous under the
law, which is righteousness, he's holy inwardly. He desired,
he said, your law is within my heart. He said, by the witch
will, we are sanctified. By his will, we're sanctified
through the offering of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ once.
Alright? So he's perfect and he's holy. And then look, even the place
of this offering typifies Christ. Verse 3 says, It's to be offered
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the
Lord. Now, you know the tabernacle
of the congregation was divided. I meant to kill that fly when
we were on break. I forgot to. If somebody can
get to him, get him. But otherwise, don't look at
him. Pay attention. Alright, so the tabernacle is
divided into compartments. There was an outer court, there
was an inner court, there was this holy of holies. Now we know
from Hebrews 9, it tells us that holiest of holies pictures God's
presence where God abides. That's what it pictures, the
holiest of holies. And so the high priest that went
in there once in a year, and he went in there with the blood
of a lamb, and he went in there to sprinkle on the mercy seat,
over that broken law, that mercy seat, that lamb, that blood,
that high priest, every bit of it pictured Christ. who went
into God's presence to present himself to his people. Now, so
this outer court, this outer court, this picture is his work
that he did while he was in this earth, while he walked this earth.
It's the furthest from the holies of holies. That's where we are.
It's the outer court. And so that's what this picture
is. So, it's where the brazen altar was. When you went up to
the door of the tabernacle, there was a brazen, a brass altar there. God had commanded to be placed
there. And the purpose for that was these offerings that were
brought, when they were put on that altar, that altar sanctified
these offerings. And you know what Hebrews 13
tells us? For believers, we have an altar. It's not at the front of a church.
That's idolatrous. It's not that. Our altar is the
Lord Jesus Christ. He is our altar. And what is
this, the offering being sanctified on the altar? What does that
have to do with Christ? Christ is God and He's man. Everything He did as a man, He
did for His people. And the thing that made that
sacrifice to be eternal and holy and have its saving efficacy
is because Christ sacrificed His humanity on the altar of
His deity. So that His Godhead gave His
humanity this saving efficacy that it had for His people. There's
the picture of the altar at the door of the tabernacle. And this
offering was before the Lord. Christ offered Himself before
the Lord. This whole picture of the bullock
in the burnt offering, it pictures that unreserved, perfect obedience
to Christ as He served God in the earth and then surrendered
Himself to the Father to be made sin for His people, to put away
the sin of His people. That's what we see being pictured
here in this burnt offering. and this burnt offering, and
it was all for the glory of God. All right, now we come to the
picture of Christ presenting Himself before the Lord. You
remember before He went to the cross? Where did He go? He went
to a garden. Where did the first Adam fall
into sin? In a garden. And Christ went
to the garden of Gethsemane to present Himself to the Father.
That's where He went. Now look at this, verse 4. He
shall put His hand upon the head of the burnt offering. Now again,
this is spoken of the person who brings it, but we're looking
at Christ right now. I want you to get what the significance
of this hand on the head of the offering is. There's a couple
of things it signifies, but this is what I want us to see right
now. After the law found Christ perfect, spotless, without sin,
perfect through and through, Christ presented Himself to God.
He went there to that garden and he presented himself to God.
And God made a divine transference. A divine transference. He transferred
something from somebody to somebody. And this is so important. In
order... This is the gospel, brethren. This is the heart right here
of the gospel. Everything God was doing was
to manifest His righteousness. You remember Romans 3 said, Now
is the righteousness of God manifest without the deeds of the law.
Without me or you doing anything. It's manifest by the faithfulness
of the Lord Jesus Christ. And here we see it. After Christ
was found perfect under the law, He presented Himself to the Father
because in order for God who is holy, who is just. In order
for God to justly justify His people, in order for God to justly
show mercy to His people, in order for Him to justly save
His people, God had to lay the sins of all His people on Christ,
our Bullock, our burnt offering. And God then judged Him in the
room instead of His people. This was a necessity. Hebrews
10, 1 through 12 tells us these ceremonies were a shadow of good
things to come. Now, what happened here when
the man laid his hand on the head of the bullock, this was
a picture, it was ceremonial, it wasn't a real transference.
But it also tells us in Hebrews that Christ is the express image
of What Christ underwent was real when the Lord laid on Him
the iniquity of His people and the punishment for our sins.
It was real. God took all the sins of all
His straying sheep and He laid our sins on Christ Jesus, our
Bullock. He laid them on Him. on the offering
that God provided. Look at Isaiah 53 and verse 6
with me just for a moment. Isaiah 53 verse 6. Now, Isaiah
is speaking here. He said at the beginning of this
verse, Who hath believed our report? Who's believed our gospel? There
was just a remnant who had believed. Just a remnant, even in his day.
God's always got a remnant in every age. The gospel is just
not important. Man's gospel, that Jesus that
Paul says is another Jesus, that spirit that Paul says is another
spirit, and that gospel that he says is another gospel, that's
very popular. Give man something to do, that's
very popular. But preach a God-glorifying gospel
that gives man no room to glory, and it's not popular. It's just
not popular. But here he is, and the reason
I make that point is because he's speaking of we here. And
I want you to see that when he's speaking of we, he's talking
about God's straying sheep. Now, if you want to be in this
we, to qualify to be one of the we, you've got to be absolutely
helpless, worthless, no good, sorry, good for nothing, but
hell. That's what you've got to be. Now, you can take your
place there with us, but that's what you've got to be, to be
one of these we that we're talking about. Now look what he did.
Isaiah 53, 6. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his
own way. And the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all. That's what we see in this hand
on the head, this divine transference. 2 Corinthians 5, 21. 2 Corinthians
5, 21. It tells us there, "...he hath made him to be sin
for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him." We're going to see this second part when we
get to the sinner coming to God. But right now, we're seeing,
"...he hath made him sin for us who knew no sin." And then
in Galatians 3.13 it tells us, these are popular scriptures
if you've been around here for very long, you've heard them
a lot, but Galatians 3.13 tells us, Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. For it's written,
Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree. Now, that's what's
pictured in this hand on the head. Now, the purpose of this
transference of our sin to Christ was so that Christ could make
atonement for the sins of His people and make His people the
righteousness of God in Him. He took the sins of His people
that He might give us His righteousness. Now, look at Leviticus 1 and
verse 4. It tells us there it was to make
atonement for the sin of His people. He says this, And it,
the offering, Christ, shall be accepted for Him, for His people,
to make atonement for Him, for each individual elect child in
particular. Christ shall be accepted, and
only Christ. We're not going to be accepted.
You hear professing believers going around saying, I accepted
Jesus, I accepted Jesus. You need to be worried about
God accepting you. And it will not be accepted. The only one
that will be accepted is Christ. Christ. Christ should be accepted
for Him. For that sinner that is helpless
and no good and worthless. To make atonement for Him. Do you see this? I told you this
Thursday. The Scripture always says that
it was done for a particular people or a particular person.
It never speaks of sin just being randomly judged. It's a particular
people's sin. To lay the iniquity on somebody,
you got to get that iniquity from somewhere. and it's the
iniquity of us all. Christ was accepted of God for
His people. He was a fit substitute to stand
in the room instead of His people to make atonement for us. So
now let's back up, let's get the picture. Here you have Christ,
perfect, spotless, holy. He's presented Himself to the
Father. And here you have the Father takes all the sin of His
people and lays that sin on His Son. This word atonement. is to make atonement for His
people. Now Christ is going to go and do the work to make atonement.
What's this word atonement mean? It only occurs one time in the
New Testament. If when we were enemies we were
reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more than being
now reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. by whom we have
now received the atonement. But the word really probably
should be, we've received the reconciliation. But even though
the word's not used, what's being pictured here is used all through
the New Testament. When it says, He bore our sins
in His own body on the tree. When it says, Christ our Passover
is sacrificed for us. When it says, He was delivered
for our offenses. You see, He's making atonement
for somebody in particular. And the Hebrew word means to
cover and cancel sins. It means to make satisfaction
for offenses. Two things were included in it.
Presenting of His blood to God and the bearing away of the sin
of His people forever. That was pictured on the Day
of Atonement so well. We'll look at that one day again.
It's been a while since we looked at it. But you remember it took
two animals to picture that. The lamb had the sin of the people
laid on it and it was killed and it was carried into the holiest
of holies and the blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat over the broken
law. And the other one was called
a scapegoat and it had the sins of the people laid on it but
it was sent away into a land not inhabited. And it bore away
the sins of the people forever. That was the picture. That was
the ceremony. But Christ really did that for His people. He really
did that for His people. And it was the only way that
God could justify us justly. And this was the only... Christ
is the only way this could be done. That's why I say Christ
is the way. The only way our sins could be
purged. The only way our sins could be
covered. The only way atonement could
be made is for Christ to do this Himself. The only... You look
at that word. one meant. The only way we could
be made at one meant with God, be reconciled and made one with
God was by Christ being forsaken of God due to our sins laid on
Him. Here in His love, not that we
love God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation
for our sins. Alright, now. Once the sins of
those who were represented were transferred to the bullock, then
justice demanded that the bullock be killed. Look here at verse
5. And he shall kill the bullock
before the Lord. He shall kill the bullock before
the Lord. Once the sins of his people were
laid on Christ, justice demanded Christ be crucified. I'm telling
you the truth here now. This is the truth. The wages
of sin is death. God says, Moses said, Show me
your glory, God. He said, I will by no means clear
the guilty. The amazing thing is, right before
that, He said, I reserve mercy for thousands. How are those
two things going to meet in harmony? He's going to reserve mercy for
thousands. But He will not clear the guilty.
And we're all guilty. This is the way they're going
to meet in harmony. Right here. Right here. Right here. Once
the sin of the people were laid on Christ, justice demanded Christ
be crucified. So then, what happened next? We see here Christ performed
this whole work Himself. Look at verse 5. The priests
and Aaron's sons shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood
round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. You see, there was no sinner
allowed involved in this work. This was only God's priest. It was only those that He had
separated and made ceremonially holy. They were the only ones
who could do this work. Christ was separated by God the
Father in eternity. He was separated by Him. He's
the holy, spotless servant of God. He's the only one who could
do this work of atoning, making atonement for His people. The
only one. Now, we don't have to guess who
these priests represent. Look at Hebrews 10 and 11. I'll
hurry. We're not going to get past the
first point, I don't think. Hebrews 10 and 11. Every priest standeth daily, ministering
and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can never take
away sin. That's what these priests were
doing right there. And here the Hebrew writer said, even after
Christ has come, priests are still going through that silly
charade. Even after the veil in the temple
split right in two, and there was no Ark of the Covenant in
there, because it represented Christ, and Christ had come.
Even after all that, they went right back to the charade after
Christ was crucified. Somebody the other day was asking,
y'all don't wear any priestly robes and where's your priestly
garments and all that stuff? Every bit of that stuff you see,
Roman Catholicism, Presbyterianism, hanging on all that Roman Catholicism
and all the Presbyterian, all that stuff. Brethren, all of
that, every bit of it, came from the old covenant law. But the
message of the book is Christ is the end of the lawful righteousness. Everything pictured Christ, brethren,
it don't matter if you got a priestly garment, you need to be robed
in Christ's garment and to robe in His righteousness. Now look
here, they offer these sacrifices which can never take away sin,
but this man, talking of Christ, after he had offered one sacrifice
for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God. Why did
he sit down? The work was finished. From henceforth
expecting till his enemies be made his footstool, for by one
offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified. All
those God sanctified by divine election, All those that God
the Holy Spirit shall sanctify by regeneration, Christ Jesus
sanctified by His one offering, making them perfect forever.
Now, that's what he did. He didn't do it at the time that
we're called into faith. He did it by his one offering.
He did that. He did the work himself. He did
the work himself. Alright, now look. Christ tread
the winepress alone. That's what we're looking at.
He did this alone. Nobody to help him. Now, we don't
have to guess what the blood represents either. Look at Leviticus
17 and verse 11. Leviticus 17, 11. God said the life of the flesh
is in the blood. Christ gave His life. When we
say He shed His precious blood, we're saying He gave His life.
That's what the law demanded. See, you've got to die, sinner.
You've got to die. That death that never dies, that
eternal condemnation after the first death, that second death,
that death that never dies. Now look, the life is in the
blood. The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I've given
it to you, God said, upon the altar to make an atonement for
your souls. For it is the blood that maketh
an atonement for the soul. It's the blood. Without shedding
of blood is no remission of sin. Now, look back at Leviticus 1.
Now it says here that that blood was spread round about the altar. Round about the altar. It means,
I had to look this up, it means there were two sprinklings. Two
sprinklings. On each side of that altar there
were a set of horns. And the way they went up and
sprinkled that blood on those horns, it covered that whole
side of that altar when it ran down. And then they went to the
other side and they sprinkled the other horns and the blood
ran down and covered that whole side too. There were two sprinklings.
Now, when you're looking at types and shadows, not everything about
it is going to fit a type or a shadow, but that's the key
to this type. When I saw that, two sprinklings,
I knew immediately what this picture is because, listen, I'm
going to give you one of them right now. One of them right
now. There's two sprinklings of Christ's blood. This is the
first one. I'll give you the next one when
we get to the second point, maybe next week. Here's the first one.
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood,
He entered into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption
for us. That's the first sprinkling of
the blood. Preaching Christ going into God's presence with His
own blood, obtaining eternal redemption for His people. Now,
let's go back to Leviticus 1. Are you there? Now, we see more
of what He suffered on the cross, and I really want you to see
this part. Leviticus 1, 6. He shall fillet the burnt offering
and cut it into pieces. He shall fillet this burnt offering
and cut it into pieces. Now, we're fixing to take this
table right here, the Lord's table. It's a piece of bread
and it's a cup of wine. And we're going to do it in remembrance
of the Lord. When the Lord instituted the
Lord's table, remember what He said that night? When He gave
the bread, this is my body which is broken for you. It's broken for you. Here you got this bullet, flayed,
cut up, broken. I said to you, that scapegoat
took our sins away into a land not inhabited. Well, here's this
bullet, this strong bullet cut in pieces. Just like Scripture
says, Christ was cut off out of the land of the living. For
the transgression of my people was he stricken. Now, here's
the beauty. This is the beauty and the wisdom
of the cross. This would solve every argument. This would solve... If men could
just see this. This is the beauty and wisdom
of the cross right here. Verse 7, The sons of Aaron and
the priests shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in
order upon the altar. And the priests, Aaron's sons,
shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order upon the
wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar. Everything
God does is in order. Everything is in order. Here
you got the fire, you got the wood, you got the parts of that
burnt offering laid into this fire to be consumed in this fire.
On the cross, in His own broken body, Christ bore all the agonizing
holy fire of God's justice. He bore the fire of God's wrath
and the fire of hell. And He did it in the room instead
of His people while He hung there on that cross. And while He did
that, notice this, verse 9, But his inwards and his legs shall
he wash in water. The inwards and the legs symbolize
Christ's inward man. It symbolizes his heart, his
obedience, his walk, his holiness. The inward parts, it says here,
were washed with water. Washing is applied to God the
Holy Spirit. The washing of regeneration.
And the water is applied to the Word. Be sure to get this now. Here we're reminded that while
Christ bore the sins of His people in His own body on the tree,
while the fire of divine justice burned against Him, so that it
looked like He was being smitten of God, forsaken and smitten
of God and hated of God. Inwardly, through the eternal
Spirit, Christ offered Himself without spot to God. Do you get
that? Do you get the picture? Wow! To me, that's the beauty and
wisdom of the cross. Christ bearing our sins in the
fire of God's indignation and justice outwardly in His own
body on the tree was inwardly perfect obedience unto the Father
because it was the Father's will. while in his own broken body
he satisfied the penalty of justice as he suffered the fire of divine
wrath for our sins, being forsaken of God. Within his heart he was
fulfilling the precept of righteousness as he perfectly obeyed God his
Father because he pleased the Father to bruise him, as he satisfied
justice for the Father. That's beautiful. That's the
beauty of the cross. So, yes, Christ was made sin
for His people. He had to be. But at the same
time, inwardly, He was offering Himself without spot to God.
Alright, what did Christ accomplish by this work? Look at verse 9.
And the priests shall burn all on the altar, A burnt sacrifice,
an offering made by fire. In this shadow of good things
to come, on the altar, the fire consumed all the sacrifice. But in the very image, on the
cross, the sacrifice consumed all the fire. This ceremony, that sacrifice
was totally consumed by the fire. But Christ totally consumed the
fire. When He cried and He said, I
thirst, it's because He was drinking the fire of God's wrath dry. When He said it's finished, He
had consumed the fire of divine wrath, satisfied the fire of
divine justice, quenching it forever, so that now there's
nothing left but mercy reserved for thousands, for all those
that Christ represented. Now let me tell you something.
Now in our land right now, let's just bring this home to where
you are. If you went before a judge, you were charged with a crime
and you went before a judge and a jury and they found you not
guilty, Not guilty. Settle. Not guilty. What would
you think if that judge then brought you back in at another
time, a little later, for that same crime and said, we're going
to try you for this crime again? You'd say, you can't do that.
That's double jeopardy. I've been cleared guilty, cleared
innocent. You can't charge me for the same
crime twice. Brethren, Christ satisfied justice
for His people. So God cannot, I can't quote
it, He can't demand payment twice. He can't demand it at Christ's
hand and then turn around and demand it at His people's hand.
