来九25~26　祂也不是多次将自己献上，像那大祭司每年带着牛羊的血进入至圣所；如果这样，从创世以来，祂就必须多次受苦了；但如今祂在诸世代的终结显明了一次，好借着献上自己为祭，把罪除掉。
　　利未记……头七章说到的各种供物，全是预表。八至十章的祭司体系，也该视为预表。不仅如此，十一至二十七章所论到神圣别子民圣别生活的一切事，也该视为预表。这些章节虽是说到神旧约的子民，以色列人的生活；然而，我们若对这些预表有正确的领会，就会看见这一切都是预表新约信徒的生活（利未记生命读经，三六三页）。

　　Heb. 9:25-26 Nor in order that He might offer Himself often, just as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies year by year by the blood of other creatures; since then He would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested for the putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself.

　　In Leviticus 1 through 7 we have the different kinds of offerings, all of which are types. The priesthood in chapters 8 through 10 should also be considered a type. Furthermore, all the matters in chapters 11 through 27 concerning the holy living of God's holy people should also be regarded as types. These chapters cover the living of the Israelites, God's people in the Old Testament. However, if we have the proper understanding of the types, we shall realize that all the types in these chapters are types of the living of the New Testament believers. (Life-study of Leviticus, p. 311)

　　利未记既是一卷预表的书，就需要加以解释。没有正确的解释，就很难认识这卷书。但是有人宣称圣经不需要解释。按照他们的观念，我们初读一段圣经若是不明白，就该一再地读，直到明白。然而，对于利未记这类的书却不是这样。我担保你即使将利未记读上百遍，仍然无法明白。
　　对基督最细致、最详尽的预表，乃是在利未记这卷书里。没有利未记一章，我们无法解释或说明基督是燔祭。说燔祭是基督作神的满足没有错，但基督如何作这种供物？这并不容易解释。
　　〔在此我们〕要专一地来看希伯来书这卷解释利未记的书，作为……论到供物与祭司体系一切信息的结语。……希伯来书有多处指向利未记，特别是指向供物和祭司体系。譬如，希伯来书常常提到大祭司。新约没有别卷书，像希伯来书那样多次说到基督是大祭司。
　　利未记乃是圣经里最难明白的书之一。保罗是头一个打开并解释这卷书的人。历代以来，圣经教师，特别是弟兄们中间的，都曾解释过利未记。弟兄们打开了预表。我们今天从那些走在我们前面的圣经教师得着了许多帮助，我们乃是站在他们的肩膀上。……所有对利未记有正确领会的人，都看见这卷书与希伯来书之间的关联。六十多年以来，我们都在研读希伯来书，以及它如何与利未记相联。
　　司可福（C.I.Scofield ）在他的圣经函授课程里说，我们在利未记的每一章都可以看见基督。我头一次听见这话时，并没有领会。我在利未记里可以看见供物，但我看不见基督。后来，我得到弟兄们的帮助，看见在利未记里，基督是在预表里描绘出来的。所有的供物都是基督的预表、图画。……虽然我得到弟兄们的帮助，看见在预表里的基督，但直到好些时间以后，才领悟供物乃是神的食物（三11……）（利未记生命读经，三六三至三六四、二六、三五四、一四四至一四五页）。
　　赎罪祭表征基督是为着神子民之罪的供物。在圣经里，单数的罪是指我们性情里内住的罪，而复数的罪是指罪的行为，就是内住之罪的果子。我们的罪（单数）由基督作我们的赎罪祭所对付（利四，罗八3，林后五21，来九26）；我们的诸罪（复数），过犯，由基督作我们的赎愆祭所担负（利五，赛五三5~6、11，林前十五3，彼前二24，来九28）。基督是神的羔羊，除去罪的总和—内在的罪与外在的诸罪（赛五三10，约一29）（圣经恢复本，利四3注4）。

　　Because Leviticus is a book of types, there is the need for it to be expounded. Without the proper expounding, it is difficult for anyone to know this book. Nevertheless, some have claimed that there is no need for the exposition of the Bible. According to their concept, if we do not understand a certain portion of the Word the first time we read it, we should read it again and again until we do understand it. However, this is not true of a book like Leviticus. I assure you, even if you were to read Leviticus hundreds of times, you would still be unable to understand it.

　　The most fine and detailed types of Christ are in the book of Leviticus. Without chapter 1 of Leviticus, we do not have a way to explain or define Christ as the burnt offering. It is correct to say that the burnt offering is Christ for God's satisfaction. But how could Christ be such an offering? This is not easy to explain.

　　This message, which will focus on Hebrews as an exposition of Leviticus, is a concluding word to all the foregoing messages on the offerings and the priesthood.

　　In the book of Hebrews there are many references to the book of Leviticus, especially to the offerings and the priesthood. For example, Leviticus often speaks of the high priest. No other New Testament book speaks as much about Christ as the High Priest than the book of Hebrews does.

　　One of the most difficult books in the Bible for us to understand is Leviticus. Paul was the first one to open up, to expound, this book. Throughout the centuries, Bible teachers, especially among the Brethren, have expounded Leviticus. The Brethren opened up the types. We today have received much help from the Bible teachers who preceded us, and we are standing on their shoulders.

　　All those who have the proper understanding of Leviticus see the connection between this book and the book of Hebrews. For over sixty years we have been studying Hebrews and how it is linked to Leviticus.

　　C. I. Scofield said that in every chapter of Leviticus we can see Christ. When I first heard this, I did not understand it. I could see the offerings in Leviticus, but I could not see Christ. Eventually, I was helped by the Brethren to see that in Leviticus Christ is portrayed in the types. All the offerings are types, pictures, of Christ.

　　I was helped by the Brethren to see Christ in the types, [but] I did not realize until some time later that the offerings are God's food (Lev. 3:11...). (Life-study of Leviticus, pp. 311-312, 21, 303, 124-125)

　　The sin offering signifies Christ as the offering for the sin of God's people. In the Bible sin refers to the indwelling sin in our nature, whereas sins refers to the sinful deeds, the fruit of the indwelling sin. Our sin was dealt with by Christ as our sin offering (Lev. 4; Rom. 8:3; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 9:26), and our sins, our trespasses, were borne by Christ as our trespass offering (Lev. 5; Isa. 53:5-6, 11; 1 Cor. 15:3; 1 Pet. 2:24; Heb. 9:28). As the Lamb of God, Christ took away sin in its totality—the inward sin and the outward sins (Isa. 53:10; John 1:29). (Lev. 4:3, footnote 4)
