Lev Msg 47

1. The bull was for Aaron and his household, and the goat was for the entire people of Israel.
2. Putting the blood of the bull and of the goat on the horns of the altar all around signifies that the efficacy of the redemption on the cross is twoard the four corners of the earth.
3. Whereas the blood sprinkled on the altar is for our peace, the blood sprinkled on the propitiatory cover is for God's satisfaction.
4. After we have received the redemption of the Lord Jesus and the problem of our sins has been solved, we need the cleansing of the Spirit that we may take Christ as our burnt offering to live for God by the life of Christ.
5. If Christ's redemption only removed our sin but did not enable us to live for God absolutely, His redemption would not be complete.
6. With the sin offering, we have two things: Christ as the incense burned on the incense altar and the heart of Christ signified by the fat burned on the offering altar.
7. To be outside the camp is to be outside organized religion bearing the Lord's reproach.
