10. Christianity and Judaism are so totally distinct, that "they
who serve the (Jewish) tabernacle," have no right to eat our spiritual
Gospel meat, namely, the Jewish priests, and those who follow their
guidance in serving the ceremonial ordinance. He says, "serve the
tabernacle," not "serve IN the tabernacle."
Contrast with this servile worship ours.
an altar--the cross of Christ, whereon His body was offered. The
Lord's table represents this altar, the cross; as the bread and wine
represent the sacrifice offered on it. Our meat, which we by faith
spiritually eat, is the flesh of Christ, in contrast to the typical
ceremonial meats. The two cannot be combined
(Ga 5:2).
That not a literal eating of the sacrifice of Christ is meant in the
Lord's Supper, but a spiritual is meant, appears from comparing
Heb 13:9
with Heb 13:10,
"with GRACE, NOT with
MEATS."
