Those Who Take And Eat And Drink What He Has Offered!
Those Who Receive The Free Gift That Came Down From Heaven!
This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. You must not eat any fat or any blood. Leviticus 3: 17
How can this be when Jesus said eat my flesh and drink my blood.
People weren’t literally being called to eat His body or drink His blood.
His eating and drinking was symbolic of taking in His sacrifice.
Believing in what He offered.
Believing in what He did.
Receiving what He did for us
Receiving what it paid for.
The wrath of God.
The rebellion of mankind.
Here in Leviticus-God/Jesus are giving us guideline to follow at this time with animal sacrifice.
Because it was to foreshadow that only Jesus—the Messiah, the prophet we are all accountable to listen to— could be this sacrifice.
That no other sacrifice could pay this price for us.
That the fat was the choicest offering.
The best God could, would offer.
The Rock, God, His sacrifice on the cross that paid for the rebellion of Adam and Eve in Eden.
The rebellion, that we were all born covered with.
The blood -that only His blood can take away this wrath, the punishment we deserved.
That no animal—or even humans death— could pay this price for us.
That this choice offering was the blood of God.
The Only One Holy enough.
That these belonged to God.
So we would know the sacrifice was coming from God.
That the sacrifice would be from God.
That the sacrifice could only be paid by God.
May we know that we know that we know Jesus is the only one that could pay this price for us.
May we know that we know that we know Jesus has already offered this sacrifice for all mankind
May we know that we know that we know everyone and anyone can simply receive this offering from God, Jesus, the choicest offering the perfect holy one who paid for mankind’s rebellion in Eden, that we forever, with Him by asking Him to be our Lord.
