‏ Exodus 29:14

The Bull as a Sin Offering

Of the three animals that are slaughtered at the consecration, the bull is the first animal as a sin offering. Aaron and his sons shall make themselves one with this sin offering, which is expressed by the laying on of their hands. For us, this means that we identify ourselves with the Lord Jesus in the spirit as the sin offering, which is as the One Who “Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross” (1Pet 2:24) and was “made … sin on our behalf” (2Cor 5:21). Thus He has taken our sins away from us and we stand before God without sin.

The altar must also be cleansed with the blood of the sin offering. The altar speaks of the Lord’s table (Mal 1:7; 1Cor 10:15-21). The table of the Lord speaks of fellowship with God and with each other. It is necessary to always realize that sin may not have a place there.

Everything from the sin offering must be burned outside the camp as an abomination to God. The fat of the sin offering is not an abomination to God. That will be on the altar. Fat speaks of the power, the energy with which the Lord Jesus accomplished the work for sin. That is pleasant for God and we may tell Him that, sacrifice that to Him.
