It is not true that we came up from the slime and the beast through the jungle, and that we pass out into a night of oblivion unlighted by a single star.
It is true that “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and that He made “man in His own image.”
The phrase, “Let us make man,” proclaims, I think I can say without fear of contradiction, the greatest creative act of God.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man, that You are mindful of him? and the son of man, that You visit him?
We will find that every act of the Godhead carried out on this earth is done through the person, agency, work, power, ministry, and office of the Holy Spirit. The only exception to that would be the ministry of Christ in this world in His first advent, but even then, the Holy Spirit functioned in every single capacity of His conception, birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection

The personal holiness of Christ was more strikingly presented in the sin offering than in any of the other sacrifices. The Holy Spirit through Moses said, “It is most holy.” The sin offering, whose blood was brought into the sanctuary, symbolized Christ bearing before God the sin of the whole world. The sin offering, the blood of which was not so brought in, but its flesh was eaten by the priests, presents Christ as making His own the sins of the individual sinner who believes upon Him.
The meat offering contained no blood, as is obvious, but it was conjoined with an offering that was literally soaked in blood, and we speak of the burnt offering. The burnt offering and the sin offering being slain upon the one spot sets out the unity of the death of Christ in its two aspects: at Golgotha, He was at once — in the same moment – accursed of God as the sin offering, and beloved of the Father as the burnt offering.
We are to now study the law of the meat offering, which, in effect, was a grain or cereal offering, which could be constituted as a thank offering. Yes, the meat offering was to ever be a memorial of what Christ would do at the Cross. We must never forget that! It must be sung in our songs, proclaimed in our messages, explained in our teaching, and, in effect, the very center of all that we are in Christ and all that we believe.
THE CROSS CAME UP BEFORE GOD AS THE HOLIEST WORK OF THE SAVIOUR, ECLIPSING ANY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HE HAD DONE.
