• The meat offering. This presents to us the humanity of Christ; His grace and perfectness as a living man, but still as offered to God and fully tested. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• But the atoning work being wrought, and His obedience perfect from the beginning (He came to do His Father’s will), all the life was perfect and acceptable as man, a sweet savor under the trial of God. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• Thus the holocaust {burnt offering} gives what the sinful man’s state according to God’s glory needed; the meat offering, the sinless, perfect man in the power of the Spirit of God in obedience; for His life was obedience in love. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• This meat offering of God, taken from the fruit of the earth, was of the finest wheat; that which was pure, separate and lovely in human nature was in Jesus under all its sorrows, but in all its excellence, and excellent in its sorrows. There was no unevenness in Jesus, no predominant quality to produce the effect of giving Him a distinctive character. (“Leviticus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• The meal offering is seen in all the four Gospels where we have the Person of Christ presented in various ways: the Messiah of Israel in Matthew; the suffering Servant of Jehovah in Mark; the perfect Man in Luke; and the Son of God become flesh in John. (“Lecture 1: The Burnt Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
• It does not speak to us of our Savior as sacrificed for sinners on the cross, but is God’s wondrous picture of the perfection of His glorious Person. Remember, He had to be who He was in order to do what He did. None but God’s eternal Son become flesh could ever have accomplished the great work that He came to do. It is of inestimable value to the soul to dwell upon God’s estimate of His Son. (“Lecture 2: The Meal Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
• Fine flour without one coarse grain in it. This was God’s picture of the humanity of Jesus. Everything was in perfect proportion and there was none of the coarseness that sin has brought into our poor, fallen humanity. I have often thought if God wanted to make a picture of my human nature He would ask for a handful of old-fashioned steel-cut oatmeal! (“Lecture 2: The Meal Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
• The oil is always the type of the Holy Spirit. He is the anointing. And we read that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38). That anointing took place immediately after the baptism in the Jordan, and the Father declared His satisfaction in Him saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I have found all my delight.” This was the odor of the frankincense. (“Lecture 2: The Meal Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
• The outstanding feature of the meal offering is its composition of fine flour. There was no barley meal. There are lots of little sharp corners in the crushed barley. But it was the finest of wheat meal that composed the meal offering. That is how God pictured the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, for in His character as a Man there was nothing that ever grated on anybody. What a marvelous picture the four gospels set before us! If they were not inspired, how unexplainable it would be that four men could ever have imagined such a marvelous character. (“Lecture 2: The Meal Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
