The Altar of Incense
Exodus 30:8
And when Aaron lights the lamps at even, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.


Consider this as —

I. A TYPICAL INSTITUTION. Notice here —

1. Its daily use.

2. Its annual expiation.

II. AN EMBLEMATIC RITE. In this view it marks —

1. The privilege of Christians.

2. The ground of their acceptance. Application:

(1)  How highly we are privileged under the Christian dispensation.

(2)  What a holy people we should be unto the Lord.

(C. Simeon, M. A.)
