“And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:”
Leviticus 2:1 KJV
The grain offering is also called meat or meal offering, cereal offering or food offering. It was an ‘unbloody’ offering to God in thankfulness for the Saviour and forgiveness. A drink offering generally accompanied it along with fine flour with oil and incense on it, cakes made without yeast and firstfruits as grain offerings. This acknowledged God as the Source of all earthly blessings. Jesus is the Bread of Life for us and the Firstfruit offered to God. Jesus offered His Life as incense to God, as prayer and praise to God. Even now He intercedes for us. Jesus satisfied God in everything. Now that the Living Bread lives in us, the world is hungry for the True Bread. Let’s feed them with Him as a meal offering to God, a satisfying fragrance to God. Whenever we help God’s ministers or give to the poor, God accepts it as a pleasing grain offering. Let’s live out our life for others, just like Jesus Who lives in and through us. Amen!
