To many believers the theme of the burnt-offering is very familiar,
but there are large numbers of God's beloved people who have never
carefully studied the marvelous types of the Person and work of
Christ given us in the early chapters of Leviticus, where we have
five distinct offerings, all setting forth various aspects of the
work of the Cross and unfolding the glories of the Person who did
that work-a Person transcending all the sons of men, for He was
both Son of God and Son of Man, divinely human and humanly divine.
We shall get great help for our souls if we meditate upon the
marvelous pictures here given us of the great and wondrous truths
which are unfolded in the New Testament. In coming to the study of
the types, we should never found doctrines upon them, but
discovering the doctrines in the New Testament, we will find them
illustrated in the types of the Old.
The truth of God is learned through the conscience; this is why the
most brilliant men can read the Bible through over and over and
never hear the voice of God in it at all. It has been said that
"what is one man's meat is another man's poison." The very Word of
God may become poison to an unspiritual man if he reads it without
being in subjection to God-reads it to find difficulties-and arises
from its perusal more confirmed in his unbelief than he was when he
sat down to consider it. The results are different when the same
book is put into the hands of a spiritually-minded person-one who
has bowed in God's presence, acknowledged his lost condition,
trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, and who is now seeking
to live in obedience to God and His Word. That man sits down to the
same book and finds it to be food for his soul, building him up in
his faith.
Our Lord's solemn words, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish," are as important today as when first uttered. No
dispensational distinctions, important as these are in
understanding and interpreting God's ways with man, can alter this
truth. No one was ever saved in any dispensation except by grace.
Neither sacrificial observances, nor ritual service, nor works of
law ever had any part in justifying the ungodly. Nor were any
sinners ever saved by grace until they repented. Repentance is not
opposed to grace; it is the recognition of the need of grace. "They
that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." "I
came not," said our Lord, "to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance."

A Collection of Dr. H.A. Ironside's Poems and Hymn
A visit of three weeks to Bible Lands, while deeply interesting,
and yielding much that has made a lasting impression on heart and
mind, was all too short to make an attempt at another book on
Palestine and the Near East worth-while or really possible. But I
have found that the story of things seen and heard in those lands
has been received with interest, and I have reason to believe with
blessing, when used as a basis for gospel messages. These addresses
have been stenographically reported and are now sent forth, with
the prayer that God will use them in the winning of souls and the
confirming the faith of believers.
"Who is the Giver?" You remember when addressing the poor woman at
the well, our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If thou knewest the gift of
God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink; thou
wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living
water" (John 4. 10). God is the Giver. I wish we could get that
clearly in our minds. A great many people think of God as a
merchantman; they think that He has something to sell; that He is
going about offering His salvation to people if they are rich
enough to purchase it. Thank God, He is too rich to sell His
salvation. But if He were to put it up for sale; if He were to set
a price on it in any sense commensurate with its value, neither you
nor I could ever purchase it.
