 The burnt offering, you are aware, typifies Christ offering Himself to God in death for a sweet savor, and in the very place where He was made sin for us bringing fullest glory to God. There surely we find the foundation for everything—for all our joys, all our communion, all our worship, and all our praise. The foundation of all is the burnt sacrifice. (Christ as Seen in the Offerings: Peace Offering by R.F. Kingscote)
 All communion is based on the acceptability and sweet odor of this sacrifice; not only because the sacrifice was needed, but because therein God had all His delight. (Leviticus 3 by J.N. Darby)
 Here, in Jesus, all that in nature was of energy and force, all His inward parts, were a burnt offering to God, entirely sacrificed and offered to Him for such a sweet savor. (Leviticus 3 by J.N. Darby)
 He walked in communion, honoring His Father in all-in His life and in His death. Jehovah found continual delight in Him; and above all, in Him in His death: the food of the offering was there. (Leviticus 3 by J.N. Darby)
