Leviticus 3:1-17

It is still the same work of Christ which the peace offering represents. But it is considered this time in the aspect of the communion, joy and peace which it produces. Jesus did not only come to glorify the Father in His life (the meal offering), in His death (the burnt offering), and to atone for our sins (the sacrifice of Leviticus 4). He also came to bring us into a new relationship of communion with God. Our dear Saviour did not content Himself with delivering us from eternal judgment. He wanted to make us happy and that from now onwards. Like the other sacrifices, the fat is kept for the LORD, and was burned on the altar. It is the symbol of inward energy, of the will which the heart governs. In Jesus this energy was entirely for God. His will was to do always those things that pleased His Father (John 6:38; John 8:29). Such a sacrifice could only be an infinitely sweet savour for God (vv. 5, 16). What a privilege it is for those of us who know Jesus to have the same "food" with the Father (vv. 11, 16), to be invited to His table in order to share His joy and His thoughts about His beloved Son! "Our fellowship," says the apostle John, "is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).
