The Fire in the Gospel
Leviticus 9:1-24
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;…


This fire which came from God upon Aaron's sacrifice representeth the spiritual force of the gospel. The fire hath four properties — to give light, to heat, to examine and try, to consume; so the Word of God is a lantern to our feet; it inflameth the heart; it trieth our life and doctrine; it consumeth and purgeth our sin. here saith well, "Thou art the bush, I the fire in the bush; I therefore am as fire in the flesh, that I may give thee light and consume thy sins."

(A. Willet, D. D.).
