The Skin of the Burnt Offering

The Skin of the Burnt Offering
Leviticus 7:8.

Last Lords' Day at the close of the "feast of love divine," having gathered to His Name and remembered Him in the Breaking of bread, I had opportunity to speak with a "visiting" brother. He was to be responsible for the Gospel preaching a little later that morning. During our precious time in worship of the Lord Jesus, announcing His death, our beloved brother "gave a sweet word" on the skin of the burnt offering.

For some time I had linked the "skin" with the "covering of skins" with which Jehovah "clothed" the fallen man, Adam and his wife, Eve. I believed that the skins (notice it is PLRAL, a sacrifice for each of them,) were from a sacrifice of burnt offering, as no "other offering" is recorded until the Law was given. Ever reticent to express this thought "openly," I took courage to ask my brother whether he would be happy to support this little thought, as I have never read or heard it expressed before. He was very gracious and assured me that it was in keeping with the truth, and even thanked me for drawing his attention to it.
Of equal instructio0n I feel is the fact that judgment was pronounced upon them while still in their nakedness, and the "offerings" followed their exercises of faith.

I have "posted" it with not a little "fear and trembling," anxious not to lead astray. Please deliberate upon it in the light of the Divine record.

I leave this with you hoping it may prove of blessing to your souls.
