Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 21:26
21:26 By fire - Heb. by fire sent from heaven: which was thesign of God's acceptance. The fire that might justly have fastened onthe sinner, fastened upon the sacrifice and consumed it. Thus Christwas made sin and a curse for us, and it pleased the Lord to bruise him,that through him God might be to us, not a consuming fire, but a reconciledFather.
