"This is the law of the burnt offering: it is the burnt offering because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.... It shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it.... The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out" (Leviticus 6:9-13). "This same Jesus... shall so come in like manner" (Acts 1:11).
How faithful this type is of Jesus we see:
An offering by fire that never goes out.
His love is unquenchable for you and me;
How sweetly that knowledge removes every doubt!
Our seasons of darkness cannot quench His flame.
His passion continues unchanged through the night.
Each morning we rise up to find Him the same;
God's Word sets in order that truth in our sight.
Unquenched by millenniums which have gone by,
The love of our Savior has never diminished.
The very same passion that caused Him to die
Shall come in like manner when this age is finished.
