Leviticus 3:17. “It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat not fat nor blood.” PERPETUAL. For God alone, some things are meant to be. The priest at the altar must be careful to see;
That God got His portion from every Sacrifice men offered; for perpetually, Those things belonged to God.
Peace has been made between God and men. The practice they followed was given to them, By God, who with symbols and types back then; Gave visible evidence that by men could be seen – Peace has been made.
The fat and the blood, when offered up to God; Was burned on the altar, and went up in a cloud Of smoke, to be seen by the man who there stood, And watched and learned as best as he could – There was fellowship between him and God.
He took to the Lord that which his wealth did allow; From the best that he had, his appreciation did show. Peace made at the cross cast here its shadow; The “offeror” who ate of that sacrifice would know – I am reconciled to God.
Today, as I think of that scene way back in the past; I am reminded that peace has been made that is just. The cross-death of Christ was not a choice but a “must.” There was no other way I could be reconciled thus – Eternally!
“Father God; with joy I recall the fact of peace that has been made through “the blood of His cross.” To live in perpetual peace is a state of comfort and confidence. I know what has been done is forever, and reconciliation is a fact of which I constantly aware of. I am able to pray or praise at any time and in any place and enjoy fellowship with Thee through Christ. I thank Thee for this great privilege, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
