What we can bring to God (1)

When anyone offers a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.
Leviticus 2:1

What we can bring to God (1)
God gave the Israelites precise instructions on how to worship Him with a sacrificial offering. Out of gratitude for their deliverance from Egypt and for all the provisions of His grace, they were to offer something to Him. This included the grain offering which was made of fine flour mixed with oil and frankincense, and was burned on the altar of burnt offering.

This sacrifice has a spiritual meaning for us. Jesus Christ speaks of Himself as the grain of wheat (John 12:24). In order for grains of wheat to become fine flour, they must be ground. This happened symbolically in the life of the Lord Jesus when He was tempted by Satan and antagonised by men. These burdens revealed how perfect He was as a man.

The oil points to the Holy Spirit. Jesus was conceived by the Spirit. Then at the Jordan the Spirit of God descended upon Him like a dove, so that He could perform His ministry in the power of the Spirit. The frankincense speaks of His total surrender to God, which was evident in His life and ministry.

Just as the Israelite had to prepare the grain offering, it is also necessary for us to study Jesus Christ through the Bible, and how He behaved as a man. Then we can make a spiritual offering to God by speaking to Him with admiration and worship about the perfect life of the Lord Jesus.

Today’s reading: Isaiah 63:15-64:12 · Mark 3:1-12

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (113)

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honour.
John 12:25.26.
