06. Oil Olive

Oil Olive

Pure olive oil was used as the fuel for the oil lamps in the tabernacle (Exodus 27:20). It was the source of energy for the light. In Exodus 30:24 it is the carrying agent for the fragrances of myrrh, cinnamon, calamus and cassia. It is easy to see how the oil is a type of the Holy Spirit who is our spiritual source of energy as He takes the things of Christ and makes them good to us. He also carries all the fragrances of Christ for our spiritual enjoyment as He causes them to flow down to and on us.

All believers are one in Christ, but if we are to enjoy that unity we must be in a proper condition for that Precious Ointment to flow down over us. We must neither grieve nor quench the Holy Spirit if we are to properly enjoy His work.
