Leviticus 2:3. “And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.” MOST HOLY. A further act of gratitude accompanied the man; Beside the animal he brought, he brought a gift of grain. To show respect and honor God, he brought the food God gave. He offered some of it to God, the best that he did have.
By this one act he publicly confessed he surely knew, All he had came from God alone; in this offering this he showed. Over the grain there was oil then poured, and incense upon that. When it was ready, on top of that it was seasoned with some salt.
These may seem strange to those around who wonder at the scene. But to those of us who know our Lord, it reminds of what has been. For us today it speaks of Christ, the perfect, but humble man. In His perfection, He lived here and never once did sin.
The spotless purity of Him was like fine flour so white; And the fragrance added to the flour reminds us of His life. He lived as Man among the men, and in every step He trod;
There was always that which testified, He was truly the Son of God.
No leaven was put in the grain-offering; that is fungus or a mould. The life of Christ, and His person too, showed He was the Son of God. The type was seen, way back then as a man brought then to give; His offering pointed him, and us, to the Lord Jesus, Him who saves.
“There are many ways were see Thy Son, O Father God; in all the scriptures of truth. But the offerings point us to so many facets of His Person, Life and Work, that we can learn more of how Thou dost see Him. With grateful thanks, I speak to Thee of Him, and worship; in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
