Amen.
Yes, Jesus was not a Nazarite according to the OT ritual (Num. 6:2-5).
But the Nazarite vow was pointing to Jesus.
A few years ago I found the most marvelous exposition of this matter in the Puritan (of course!!) Thomas Goodwin. See his collected works, volume 5, pp147-164 (from "Of Christ the Mediator" book iv, chapters iii-vii). You simply [i:e14dc01aad]must[/i:e14dc01aad] read this. I cannot do it justice in a summary. Classic.
I'd like to get a couple other opinions of this bit of Goodwin (if or after you read it, nach.)
