JESUS in His Priestly Office, a sermon by Robert Hawker
"And the Angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his Wife looked on. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward Heaven from off the Altar that the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the Altar." Judges 13:19-20
EVERY circumstance which hath the smallest reference, either to the Person, or office of the Lord Jesus, becomes very precious in the contemplation to his people. There is not a single event, connected with a matter so infinitely interesting, which can be considered as trifling, or unimportant, to a truly awakened soul. And when we see, with what a world of concern, the Holy Ghost, in his scriptures of the Old Testament, hath ushered in the wonderful subject, in the long train of types, and figures, and ceremonies, under the law, all shadowing the Person, and offices, of the Lord Jesus, it should seem, that nothing can more correspond, to the mind of God, than in following up, those gracious intentions which he hath manifested, in causing them to be thus recorded, for the information, and improvement, of his Church in all ages, by having frequent recourse to the sacred volume of the old Testament, as one among the many methods of his grace, to confirm our faith in the new.
