The Urim and the Thummim

The true Urim (Lights) and Thummim (Perfections) belong to and are found in the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Deuteronomy 33:8 might be properly paraphrased — “And of the tribe of Levi, he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim (or thy Perfections and thy Lights, O God) be with thy Holy One, Christ Jesus, whom thou, O Levi, with the rest of the tribes of Israel, didst tempt at Massah, and strive with at the waters of Meribah.” (Gill’s Paraphrase)

I want to show you just two things in this message. I want you to see that…

1. Christ is the true Urim and Thummim, the true Lights and Perfections of his people.
   

2. As Aaron, the typical high priest, carried the Urim and Thummim upon his heart, so Christ, God’s true High Priest, carries his people upon his heart in all his priestly functions.
