The constant supply of new loaves every sabbath, and the removal of those which had been brought before, was a delightful type of gospel mercies, in the supply of the LORD'S family from Sabbath to Sabbath. JESUS is the bread of life to his people, presented by his ministers new and pure in every LORD'S day's ordinances. We are told from the tradition of the Jews, that the priests were so exact and cautious in this ministry, of the removal of the old show-bread, and the supply of the new, that as the priest took off one loaf; in the same instant another priest put down another; so that the LORD'S table might never have less nor more than the twelve loaves appointed. Whether this tradition be true or not, it may at least serve to teach the ministers of JESUS CHRIST this lesson; that his table-service, and his temple-service, should never be without supply; for his family want bread, even the bread of life in a preached word, from one LORD'S day to another; and that they should bring forth as scribes well instructed in the kingdom, things new and old. Matthew 13:52.
