In Levitical law there was a specific manner in which the sin sacrifice was to be offered. The presenter was to bring a young bull without blemish, lay his hands on the head of the bull confessing his sin, and then kill the bull. The priest was then to sprinkle the blood of the bull seven times on the altar, anoint the horns of the altar with the blood, and then pour the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar. This "Shadow" was fulfilled in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the altar of the cross! Those who come to Christ must as well confess their sins and accept the atonement that His eternally efficacious sacrifice provides. ... This message was presented on April 17, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

We have been considering the Shadow of Christ found in the Old Testament. Earlier in the series, we saw the testimony of Abraham and his encounter with Melchizedek - Priest of the Most High God. During that message, we considered the Priesthood of Christ, being in the order of Melchizedek. In the last message, we began considering of another aspect of Christ's Priesthood, that of the Mediator between God and Man, and Man and God by examining the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood. In the last message we considered the Practical Application. This message will look at the Prophetical Application of the passage. ... This message was presented on April 10, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

During that message, we considered the Priesthood of Christ, being in the order of Melchizedek. This message begins a consideration of another aspect of Christ's Priesthood, that of the Mediator between God and Man, and Man and God. In each message, we have considered the Practical Application of the O.T. Passage that we have examined and then the Prophetical application of that passage - as it pointed to the coming Christ. Our picture for this message is greater in scope, both in the Practical and in the Prophetical, and therefore is broken into separate messages. This message considers the Practical Application and the next message will look at the Prophetical Application. ... This message was presented on April 3, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

God's plan for Christ to come into the world was not a mystery. He had planned it before the foundations of the world were laid. We have been considering the Shadow of Christ found in the Old Testament. During the past three messages, we have focused on Israel's deliverance from Egypt and God's provision for them. We have seen Christ as the Passover lamb, the Shekhinah Khabod (tabernacling glory) of God, and the Bread of Life - the true manna from heaven. Today, we want to look at another Shadow of Christ from this same setting - seeing Christ as the Living Water! ... This message was presented on March 20, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

God's plan for Christ to come into the world was not a mystery. He had planned it before the foundations of the world were laid. During the past two months we have seen the diety and manhood of the coming Messiah; we have seen that He would be the redeemer who would be the sacrifice for our sin and our passover lamb, and who would offer Himself as a sacrifice as a priest in the order of Melchizedek. Last week, we saw how Christ referred to Himself as the Light of the World - as He stood at the base of the Great Menorah in the Court of the Women during the Feast of Tabernacles. That Great Menorah was the representation of the pillar of fire that led Israel through the wilderness and protected them from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. Today, we begin to look at some of the types that God placed in the lives of the Israelites that pointed to the coming Messiah - such as the Manna in the wilderness! ...

The Feast of Passover is an annual remembrance for the Jewish people of how YHWH delivered them from the dominion and power of Egypt. Jesus, the night in which He was betrayed, revealed the fulfillment of the Passover celebration. He would be our Passover. The commemoration which we refer to as communion, or the Lord's Supper, actually is an extenuation of the Passover celebration. Jesus, as the firstborn Son, died in our stead; He was the ultimate Passover Lamb. Christ fully fulfilled the Passover type. He was chosen on the 10th day of Nisan, examined for four days, and then slaughtered (crucified) at twilight on the 14th day of Nisan. This was in order that we might be emancipated from our Egypt, sin! ... This message was presented on February 27, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

Genesis 49:10 states, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people." Another of the portraits of the coming Messiah was given during the blessings that Jacob gave to his sons before his death. In the course of his blessing to Judah, Jacob declared that the ruler of Israel would come from Judah. The reign of the Messiah would be with power, peace and prosperity. ...

Jacob was a man of great guile (treacherous cunning and skillful deceit). Yet, Jacob was the one through whom God chose to continue His Abahamic covenant blessing. While the deceiver was on the run, God appeared to him standing beside a ladder extending from heaven to earth with angels ascending and descending. This incident is another portrait of the coming Messiah acclaimed by Christ Himself in His discourse with Nathaniel. Jesus declared that He was the ladder, just as He would declare later that He was the only Way to the Father. ... This message was presented on February 13, 2011 by Bob Corbin.

Throughout the recording of the history of the world found in the Old Testament, God had provided glimpses into the nature of the Messiah Redeemer who was to come. Hence, when Christ was born there should have been no surprise as to Who Jesus was and what His sacrificial role would be. In John 20:29 we read Jesus stating to Thomas, �because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.� We, who live 2,000 years since the death, burial and resurrection of Christ accept, by faith, the validity and veracity of the gospel account recorded throughout the Scriptures. The greatest illustration of the love of God expressed in the sacrificial offering of His Son is the account of the testing of the faith of Abraham. Through Abraham's willingness to heed God's call to offer his son, his only son, whom he loved to Him as a sacrifice we see God's tremendous love for us. ...
