CHAPTER FOUR
GOD’S HOUSE
The peace-offering
When the Israelite came to Jehovah’s house to eat, he was fed the slain victim’s flesh. The flesh of the victim whose blood had been given for him was God’s food to the offerer to sustain the redeemed life.
The peace-offering deals with our relationship to the Lord. It brings separation from the world and traditional Christian profession. In burning the fat, the peace offering represented Christ accepted for us. (Cf., Leviticus 3:14-16; 4:31; 7:31.) He gave to God the very best he had to offer - himself. He became poor that we might become rich. He laid aside his essential glory and walked in worldly poverty and death, that we might be enriched.
The burnt-offering declared the complete consecration of the Anointed One appropriated by the believer.
In both the whole burnt-offering and peace-offering, we have:
(1) completeness in surrender; and,
(2) Christ’s supreme excellence for us.
He substitutes for all our shortcomings. To redeem, he presented both his Godhead and Manhood.
The closing act of sacrificial eating in the peace-offering goes beyond the general sacrificial thought. The one who had laid his hand upon the offering and for whom the blood had been sprinkled now feasts in God’s house and sits at his table. (Read Leviticus 7:14-15, 31.)
