Leviticus 1: 6

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. Leviticus 1:6. The offering had to be flayed and then cut into pieces. Before Jesus was crucified he was scourged. Matthew 27:26 says: When he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.  So the sacrifice in Leviticus was a type showing us that Christ Himself would be beaten and cut to pieces. The Roman scourge was a horrific instrument that was designed to quickly remove flesh from the person being beaten or scourged. Thus the Levitical description of the sacrifice being flayed is very accurate in regards to the sufferings of the Lord Jesus since this flaying was performed to remove the skin from the sacrifice before being offered as a burnt offering on the altar. Isaiah 50:6 tells us I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. The Lord Jesus offered Himself for us and put Himself through this for us! Praise His name. Next time we shall look at verse 7.
