利未記所預表的基督
出埃及記四十章33至38節-利未記一章1至4節
33在帳幕和壇的四圍立了院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。這樣，摩西就完了工。
34當時，雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光就充滿了帳幕。
35摩西不能進會幕；因為雲彩停在其上，並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。
36每逢雲彩從帳幕收上去，以色列人就起程前往；
37雲彩若不收上去，他們就不起程，直等到雲彩收上去。
38日間，耶和華的雲彩是在帳幕以上；夜間，雲中有火，在以色列全家的眼前。在他們所行的路上都是這樣。
1耶和華從會幕中呼叫摩西，對他說：
2你曉諭以色列人說：你們中間若有人獻供物給耶和華，要從牛群羊群中獻牲畜為供物。
3他的供物若以牛為燔祭，就要在會幕門口獻一隻沒有殘疾的公牛，可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。
4他要按手在燔祭牲的頭上，燔祭便蒙悅納，為他贖罪。
信息分享
利未記的確不是一本很容易讀的書，但我們要記著，要尋找金礦，也不可能在地的表面找到，必須要付出時間和努力去挖掘。當我們深入鑽研這卷書的時候，便可能得著一些從沒想過的珍寶。
新約有超過60次提到利未記。它基本上是一部祭司手冊。單是看它的書名「利未記」，就知道它的內容與作祭司的利未支派有關。
對於人應當如何在會幕以及日後的聖殿進行敬拜，神給予非常清晰的指示。當中包括如何獻祭、祭司的工作，以及百姓的日常生活守則，都可以在利未記找到有關的指示，而且，一切指示都預示到未來的基督。一切都是出於神的啟示，神把一切說得一清二楚，不會留下灰暗的部分讓人胡亂猜測。
書的第一部分說明以色列人該如何進到神的面前；第二部分則指出百姓的行事為人，如何才能得蒙神的悅納。
每次，當以色列人將一隻無瑕疵的祭牲宰殺，奉獻給神的時候，他便是承認自己有罪，知道自己只能夠獻上一隻無罪的牲畜，讓牠流出的血為自己贖罪，才能得著神的赦免。當然，我們現在知道，只有基督才是那無瑕無疵的羔羊；因著祂甘願捨己，祂所流出的寶血才能洗淨我們的罪。
而且，耶穌基督更是我們的大祭司。當我們知道，我們這位大祭司如今正在天上，在神的寶座前不住地為我們代求，我們便得著無比的安慰。
CHRIST IN LEVITICUS
Exodus 40:33-38 Leviticus 1: 1-4
33 And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
1 Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.
3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.
4 Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
Message
Leviticus may not be an easy book to study but remember gold is not always found on the surface of the earth. Very often it has to be mined by tremendous effort and cost. It could be that by digging deep into this book we may discover rich blessings we would otherwise miss.
Leviticus is referred to over 40 times in the New Testament. Primarily of course it was the handbook of the priest. The name 'Leviticus' means the things which had to do with the Levites, the priestly tribe.
God gave very clear instructions about the worship in the tabernacle and later, of course, the Temple. How were the offerings to be made? How were the priests to act? How were the people to live day by day? All these questions are answered in the book of Leviticus and every answer speaks of Christ. Nothing was left to man's imagination, it all came by revelation from God.
The first part of the book explains Israel's approach to God. The second part tells how the people of Israel were to live, having been accepted by God.
Every time an Israelite pushed forward an unblemished animal to be slain for his sin, he was recognizing the need for an innocent offering to be offered to God and the need for blood to be shed to take away his sin. Christ was the only perfect sacrifice. He put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Jesus Christ is also seen as the great High Priest. It is a tremendous encouragement to know that Jesus Christ is our High Priest now in heaven above. He constantly intercedes for us before the throne of God.
