An Israelite Lays His Hand on a Bull for Offeringby emmanuel_higgins

Leviticus 1:7

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

Leviticus 1:7 stands among the ceremonial directions governing the sacrificial offerings. That whole system of ceremonies was appointed by Christ himself to represent the coming Savior. The putting of fire on the altar and laying the wood in order was therefore no empty outward form. It pointed directly to the ministry and death of Christ for the redemption of the world.
