"And he [Moses] poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him" (Leviticus 8:12). "Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not desire; Mine ears hast Thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast Thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me" (Psalm 40:6,7). "God, who... spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son... who... by Himself purged our sins" (Hebrews 1:1 -3).
When
Moses charged the congregation
To
gather as the Lord appointed,
They
saw a portrait of salvation
In
Aaron when he was anointed.
In
offerings that were sacrificed
Our
purging also was portrayed,
But
only our Lord Jesus Christ
Could
bring the ransom that He paid.
Prophetic
portraits that God gave
Are
now eclipsed by God the Son,
Who
died for those He came to save
And
rose to show His work is done.
O
Lord, the portraits of our purging
Are
shadows that portray Your grace.
We
plead with those whom You are urging
To
find in You their Hiding Place.
