The 3rd chapter of Leviticus and beginning with first one.

Malcolm verses in the 7th chapter of the same book, Chapter 7 and verse 11.
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace. Offer, which he shall offer unto the Lord. If he offer it for Thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of Thanksgiving on 11 cake mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil of fine flour fries. Besides the cake he shall offer for his offering leavened bread.
For the sacrifice of Thanksgiving of his office.
We shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering under the Lord. And it shall be the priest that sprinkle up the blood of the peace officer, And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for Thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered. He shall not leave any other until the morning. But if the sacrifice that is, often be a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offered his sacrifice.
And on the Morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten, but the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be frank with fire. And if any of the flash of the sacrifice of a seesaw please be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offer of it, and shall be an abomination. And the soul of eaters of it shall perhaps iniquity. And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.
00:05:18
Shall be broke with fire, and As for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. But the soul that eateth of the flesh, of the sacrifice of peace, offering that pertain unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. How to now the verse 29.
Speak under the children of Israel, saying he did all for the sacrifice of sacrifice of his peace offering unto the Lord.
Shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offer his own hands. Shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breath It shall we bring that the breast may be weighed for a wave offering before the Lord. And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breath shall be errands, and his son and the right shoulder shall be given under the priest for an heave awkwardly.
Sacrifices of your people he among the sons of Aaron that offers the blood off, the peace off, and the fact she'll have the right shoulder for his heart for the wave rest and the heave shoulders have I taken of the children of Israel from awful sacrifices of the peace off, and have given them unto air in the freezer, his son by a statue forever.
From along with Silver in the back of the third chapter.
Now, at the outset I want to say, first of all what the peace offering is not before we bring out what it is in a positive way, that word peace that may give a little confused thought to us.
And we might suppose that this sacrifice means that Christ made peace by the blood of His cross, or that this is a sacrifice that was offered for sin so that we can have peace with God. That is not the thought in the peace offline.
The first offering gives us atonement and the sin offering gives us atonement. The peace offering gives us the ground of communion between God's people.
And the Lord Himself. It is, in short, then, a communion sacrifice. It is a Thanksgiving sacrifice. It is a sacrifice of prosperity. As someone has said. It is not the thought of Christ making peace by the blood of His cross. There is a connection with atonement. We're going to see not in that offering, but the offering with which it is connected in this very chapter. Now let us suppose the moment that we could go way back into the past, these kind of things. We want to get the background of this sacrifice if we can visualize way back in the past and distant ages when there was nobody in existence but God himself.
No other persons to have communion with God alone, the absolute one. And then God decided to create angels, and he created an Angel. Angel with the seven strains hardening under the voice of his Word, doing what he commands them. Those angels could never enter into God's thought. God wanted to have about himself a people who could share in common with Him that in which his own heart delighted in, and he wanted those people to be in relation to himself.
Now angels are never seen in relation to God as the believer is. They are called sons of God because they came directly from his hand. They are the switches of his hand. But Dog wanted to have a company round himself like minded and in the full conformity to his sons, so that all together God himself, the Son of God himself and all the people could rejoice together on one common ground.
And God devised the plan. God devised that plan. In that coming day, we're all going to be there, and that Queen of Glory with Christ the center of our whole scene. And so God has set before us an object, and we want to notice in the peace offerings.
So the main point here, first of all, we'll notice some of the differences and comparisons with the other sacrifices. The people offering a similar to the find offering and the meat offering in that it was voluntary.
And also it is a sweet favor offering. If it had anything to do with sin, it would not be a sweet saver offering. In that way the freight offering had something to do with sins indirectly and that it was the tone that was made, but it was Christ voluntarily giving himself up now that the peace offering.
00:10:12
Different from the point offering in this respect, that the whole point offering was burned on the altar, except the skin. In the peace offering we have only taken parts of the animal burned. And in that way the peace offering compares with the sin offering, the same part that a friend on the altar of the sin offering a brain on the altar in the peace offer. But there's this difference. The bodies of those animals that whose blood was carried into the sanctuary could stand. Those bodies were burned without the camps.
But we don't have the body of the peace helping blind without the pain. What we see here, there's an absolute close connection interlocking between these sacrifices. There are differences in, there are comparisons. And so we see then that in this offering there's a it's a sacrifice, it's a voluntary offering, a voluntary sacrifice. And I'm going to make this statement and it'll be proven by the scriptures as we go along. In the peace offering, God has his part. The priestly family have their part.
Therefore then, the man who offers it has his fortune, and his friends who with him they all partake. Jehovah delights in that sacrifice, and the poor friend that he may bring with him, they all delight and rejoice in that same sacrifice. They have one common object, one common subject, but their souls enjoyment. And so we're going to see here how this comes out in verse one.
Notice he's given. They're given a latitude they can offer either a male or a female.
Now in the point offering it had to be a male, and in the sin offering with I believe one possibly exception.
It had to be a male that was spoke of energy and strength. But here in the peace offering where it's more are coming before the law that's giving thanks and in worship and in praise. God allows this latitude here and Tony says that he can bring the herd whether it be male or female.
Offer it without blemish before the Lord. In everyone of these sacrifices the sinlessness of Christ is set, for in him is no sin who did no sin, neither was Giles found in his mouth. There was no blemish on the Lord Jesus Christ. There was nothing that men could see outwardly, and there was nothing that God could see inwardly that was sent. He was offered a lamb or the herd without lemons. Let us remember that there were some who tried to teach a doctrine that Christ could have sinned but didn't.
The word of God chills that Christ was holy, and being holy he couldn't stand. And the temptation in the wilderness frozen, Satan could find no entrance, no place for those arrows to get in. There was no answer. There was nothing there But what was holy and repelled? Evil. Now the sacrifices taken here and in verse two we have identification with it. He lays his hand upon the head of his offering.
There's identification with a sacrifice.
In the front offering, it was the value of a sacrifice transferred to the offer. The offer accepted in all the wholeness and blessedness of what Christ is and what Christ has done. He is this identification too. But now it's identification in connection with communion, with communion. What do we mean by communion? Communion is having common thoughts, common enjoyment, one object, and the same thought about that object.
I remember some years ago we went to visit a man we had never seen before to have my son with me. My son was an engineer and it turned out this man was an engineer. We didn't know that ahead of time. But as soon as they had knowing that each other was an engineer, they had common language, Common Core, Common Object. Of course they had another common object. They both knew Christ. But I'm just giving that as an example. Communion means not taking the Lord's Supper. I might be out of communion and take the Lord's Supper. I may come to the Lord's table in a bad state of soul.
And I'm not enjoying sharing God's thoughts at all. I'm out of communion. Taking the Lord stuff is not communion. We ought to take it in communion. We ought to be in communion with John when we do it. It's communion only in the sense that it's that. It's it's connected with the body of Christ. But I'm thinking now of the communion is that which.
The enjoyment in our own soul of what Christ is before God. And so here he lays his hand on the head of the sacrifice. And then notice what is offered here in the third verse, the middle of the verse, the fact that covers the Inwood, and all the fact that is upon the endwood.
00:15:16
And then the other part of the mansion and the 1St 5 Aaron's son shall burn it on the altar upon the front sacrifice.
Notice now the first sacrifice is brought in. But that's the sort of fight off when we've already considered that the fight offering was that would satisfy God. It was by giving himself holy voluntarily and God glorified in it. Now on the author that remains in that first sacrifice, the embers are there, it's burning, and it's on top of that that the peace offering is offering. Now I believe there's a very instructive thought here.
You and I cannot worship.
We cannot enjoy communion with one another or with the Lord if we're uncertain about our acceptance before dawn. We need to know that we've been accepted before God on the grounds of the burnt sacrifice, that God is satisfied with Jesus, and we ought to be satisfied as well. No person can worship.
For the days, who doesn't know that he has peace with God. He's got to be worried about his sin. So notice that the peace offering has as its foundation the first sacrifice that would speak to Christ giving himself. And notice that that is upon the wood that was on the fire. It is an offering made by fire of a sweet savior unto the Lord. Now you'll notice that the first offering, the meat offering, and the peace offering all said to be a tweet save under the Lord.
The thin offering was 1 little exception. I wouldn't kind of it. Now is not said to be a sweet favor offer because there is price made sense. That's why Christ is forsaken in Matthew but he's not forsaken in John. You've got the sin offering and the one gospel and you got the French offering in the other. In one he's forsaken, the other he is not. And so we see that there is a difference in that and it says here that it's a sweet saver, a sweet savor unto the Lord.
All what God has found in the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, God of God, heart of satisfied that Christ offering is gone up. As a sweet favor let me point out another thing. There are two sacrifices which is said to be most holy. Only the meat offering and the thin offering are said to be most holy. My point is not because these are lost internal marks of divine inspiration. Moses could never have invented these stories about the about the the sacrifices. Why is the peace of the meat off we call most holy? Because it sets forth Christ and manhood.
And it's Christ and manhood that the enemy would attack. We've already mentioned that they would say he could sin. They would try to bring something in that was not holy. Why is the sin offering most holy? Because when Christ was made sin on the cross, he was not on the holy at that very moment when he bore my sins in his own body on the tree. Then he walked through all these Tennessee and all this pathway here below in manhood. Christ was holy when made sin, it didn't. It wasn't necessary to say that the Frank often was most holy. It wasn't necessary to say that the peace often was most holy.
That's quite obvious for God in his wonderful desire to guard the person of his son, even takes care of it in the offering. Is he man? He's holy. Was he made sin on the cross? He's both holy. Oh, how wonderful the word of God is now there to find that. Then we'll go over. Now we're not going to take each verse, but I want to call attention to the ninth verse at the moment.
He shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offer made by fire under the Lord.
The fact there are but in the whole run now that whole, the whole rump. It should read here the whole fat hail. It was a special part of the sheet which was not noticed in the first sacrifice. In the first sacrifice of the herd there was no special morsel called the whole fat tail. And I understand Oakland, Syria this is a special more for people enjoy. They like that they cook it a special way and it's given the person's very often that they want to honor and so the Lord claims that.
That becomes his fool. God doesn't want the worst. He wants the best, and he's entitled the best. So he calls upon them to take the whole fat tail, and the fat to cover the inwards, and all the fat of it upon the inwards. And the two kidneys, And the fact that the pond them, which is by the flanks and the coal above the leather and with the kidney, literally take away, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar. It is the food.
00:20:14
Now we get food on the offering made by fire under the Lord. What a fool are satisfied.
It satisfies something that satisfies and refreshes. Now we have the Lord part. This is Jehovah finding the food in that sacrifice of peace offer. It isn't a question of him being satisfied about sin to fight off. We already took care of that. It's a question now. God finding the light in Christ our side of master. Let's get Scripture. Let's turn to the third chapter. 2 passages of Matthew. Third chapter of Matthew.
And our 16th.
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water, and lol, the heavens were opened up to him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him, and lower voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Tom in whom I am well pleased. Here we find God the Father rejoicing infinitely in the person of God the Son. And this is at the beginning of our Lord's ministry.
Now look forward to the 17th chapter of the same book.
And we're flying.
This is an amount of Transfiguration, while yesterday behold a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him hold the place of Matthew, because we're going over to Romans presently. But here we find that the Father is having his food and delight in the person of his Son. But here we have Christ in life, now we have Christ, that is Saptism. We have Christ at the Transfiguration.
Now let's go over to Romans 6 as the first that's easily Kim Noble when we read it Romans 6.
And we'll see that the life that God the Father had not only in the life of Christ, but in his death, everything that he did in the 6th of Romans.
And the 4th earth. I'll read the whole word. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death. And that life is Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. Even so we also should walk in newness of life. I call attention to the expression here that Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. What does that mean? Oh, I believe one main part of conveyed.
God the Father has such infinite delight in the death of Christ, and He's offering Himself on the cross.
And his obedience unto death.
His counting across the shame of small things, God the Father took such interest in life that his own glory called for the resurrection of the one who did it. He was raised today by the glory of the Father, not by the power of the Father. We get that elsewhere, but the glory of the Father that tells us this, that God's own glory would lie tarnish in the dust as it was if he had not raised him the dead, the one that so fully glorified him.
This is the food of the peace offering. This is that which God the Father feeds upon. He feeds upon Christ in every detail. Now, a lot of you and I got the feed upon, right? Right? No. Some people get tired of Christ. Brother Bags told us of an incident years ago. And Brother Armet was living. Brother Armet was a brother I just missed. I never got to know him, but he was speaking on the Tabernacle and one place a lot of people were coming in here.
And someone afterwards definitely hired him to speak on the Tabernacle. He said, why? He makes everything Christ. And that time and I got everything is Christ. So what do you expect in the word of God? What do you and I come to meeting for? To hear some new things like the Athenians? Or do we come to rejoice in Christ?
It's not as we have appetite for Christ that will enjoy the things of God publicly as well as individually, so he And then we have the food. Coming back to our chapter in the medicine, we have the food and the offering made by fire under the Lord. Now this is the Lord feeding upon Christ.
00:25:07
Now we go down to the 16th word. We have the expression again. The priest shall find them upon the altar. It is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet favor.
All the fact is the Lord all the fact he was noticing the other night in connection with the burnt offerings, that the fact would that speak of the excellent part of the animal, the part by which they could tell it was not disease. But there's another thought expressed here too. The fact was written before us. The inward energy of the world, that which moves, that which motivates. What is it that moves and motivates you and me? What is it that motivates the man of the world, An unsafe person.
John first epistle of John Belgique sent his lawlessness. That's how it should read. Man does his own will. We we did our own will and Peter speak to that The past time passed to vice are showing the will of the Gentiles. We get our own will. We wanted this and we wanted that. We're going to go here. We're going to go there. So now what happened? We belong to Christ. Now what is our motive? Now let us see what it is in Christ. Here we see that this map was the energy.
On the end was, well, what kind of Hebrews 10. Let's see how the perfect man brought what how his will was subjected to the will of the Father.
Hebrews 10 and verse 7.
Over 5 yards wherefore when he cometh into the world, he says, sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body is not prepared me in front offerings and sacrifices to send. Now it's had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do.
Thy will, O God, whose will did the Lord Jesus accomplish?
Here we have the inward energy that lost the Lord Jesus. His inward reigns. Everything that governed him was to do the will of the Father. And so we find that we turned over to John six while we did John Six. We get another bird brings this out.
John 6.
And verse 38.
Well, I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will.
Of him presently, that never was a man in this scene.
That walked in that carriage Man is always asserting his own will, and in Isaiah 14 devil the place himself. Five times I will ascend. I will set my throne above the star of the dark. I will sit beside my mouth, and all of a suddenly five times he ***** will I will. But the Lord Jesus who was in the form of God, thought of that robbery to be equal of God, He made himself of no reputation, and he became a man that was obedient.
When it says obedient of the death, that doesn't mean he became obedient enough to die. It means that his whole pathway from the Manger to the cross with one path of obedience. What was the Father's will he was doing? Oh, that's where we failed. We would always want we want to do our own relieving expression. We we come to a meeting, we hit the ministry and it strikes our conscience. We say, well, I'm not well. He's not going to tell me what to do. What is that? That's the flesh in you and you and me.
That's the will the Lord Jesus. Never, Jesus, never.
Put forward his own will. He walked in perfect obedience to the Father. Now we're called upon in first John two to walk. Even if he walked, the Christian ought to be selfless. He ought to be walking in that path of pleasing the Father, and so the law of Jesus. Here the fact belong only to God. Now that's another verse. In Psalm 4 we might notice Psalm 40.
Which I believe is quoted Beirut, but part of it is given. Notice that Psalm 40 and verse 7.
Then said I, Lo, I come, and divided by the book that is written of me, I delight to do thy will. Oh my God, Yay, by law is within my heart, My law is within my heart.
00:30:10
And so this is the one who meditated in God's law day and night. How can we go on without a will?
Reading the word of God and obeying, If God's law is within written in our hearts, if the law is within our heart will will be put into a proper place. All the energy of the inward being belong to God and God is jealous of that until he says here in the in that 16th verse all the facts is the Lord and then verse 17.
Be a perpetual statute for your generation throughout for your dwellings that meet me. The fat, no blood. They were not to eat blood. Now blood brings in life. That's another thought. Life belongs to God. Life belongs to God, not the man. And so the blood was for the Lord. And so it's told in Genesis, Who shall shed a man's blood by man shall his blood be shed for an image of God. May be man, Dog will hold man accountable for the blood that he sheds.
But as to Israel and the sacrifices, they will not eat the fat, no, the blood or the way. We're on the ground with the blessing of the blood. We've been brought in on the grounds of that blood which is off of the God upon the cross, and we've been cleansed and brought to the place where we can now enjoy the peak golfing. Now let's go to the 7th chapter he goes, that develops now more fully the details of the peace offer.
The circumstances under which he was offered and then we'll see how this connects to the New Testament. In the 7th captain we have the law with the sacrifice of peace offering and verse 12 it says that we offer it for Thanksgiving.
Then he shall offer what the sacrifices of Thanksgiving, unleavened cakes made it with oil. Notice that there are different ways in which the the peace offering can be offered. They can be offered as a Thanksgiving. Now, this is usually what characterizes us first as young believers, with which it's saved. We thank God, we're full of thanks, that our sins are together. We're thankful to what he has done for us. But you know that doesn't have the same solid foundation We need to go on, you know, when you first save.
It's something like a bubbling fountain, a bubbling green. But that bubbling screen cannot turn the the water mill. It's the deep, quiet, slowly flowing stream that turns that water wheel and regenerates power. And so it is when they first say that the grace overly homeless Thanksgiving what's good. God takes us away from the land of the Philistines, that we shouldn't see war at first. He wouldn't want us to see war at 1St until we get till we're seasoned the best. And so Thanksgiving has this place.
And so it says Here notices the way it's presented. He offers unleavened cakes mingled with oil. Unleavened waste is anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil of fine flour. That is, we have out which speaks of Christ. He offered Christ in connection with this with a sacrifice. What can you and I present to God in worship? Double God accept by Him? Therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually confessing His name. When we come into the presence of God the worship, it's Christ that we present.
We confess his name. We own what he is, who he is, what he is done. And so that's first unleavened case. But now notice in the 13th verse, besides the case he shall offer for his offering leavened bread for the sacrifice of Thanksgiving of his seats off. There was in the depth in the Thanksgiving office. And connected with it is the fact that that you and I have 11 in us. We are not trying to do it, but it's a 23rd chapter. Here we have a new meat offering. Too low. They can look leather.
But the lemon is bacon.
11 is there, but it shouldn't work. It shouldn't operate. And God finds that in the church. God finds that in you and me. That corresponds to 11, says no 11 and any sacrifice that speaks of Christ. But there is 11 here in the Thanksgiving offering. Because it's a feverless of our Thanksgiving, we come short. God accepts it. How precious that is. We may come in the feedless way, but God leads our hearts, and he knows that we're enjoying Christ. Now the next step.
00:35:02
Sacrifice is brings in more spiritual power. You'll notice that in this in the 15th verse, the flesh and the sacrifice of the sea, salting for Thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day that it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.
That is, there isn't enough energy or figure. It's just a question of Thanksgiving. Praise all and save. Let's say I I know that much and I give thanks. That's wonderful. But there is not enough power to carry over. So that sacrifice has to be eaten the very day it's given. It cannot be carried over. You and I cannot live tomorrow. I've always enjoyed the price today. We need to have Christ every day when it comes to Thanksgiving. Now God does. Give strength and grace, and we'll see in my followers.
And the next sacrifice, verse 16. But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow or a voluntary offering?
It's got to be eaten the same day that they offer the sacrifice, and on the Morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten. Now when it's a vow, it brings in the thought of greater biggest spiritually. It isn't just a question of Thanksgiving, but it's more of an appreciation of what price is. And so there's a full enjoyment of this, and it's allowed to be eaten not only on the day that it's offered, but the power of it carries along and he's allowed to eat at the next step.
But at the third day, he couldn't do so. You cannot separate the enjoyment of price from price themselves. You can't put too many days between until it's a good thing to enjoy Christ every day, to have a fresh portion for our soul from the word of God. And the peace offering connects us with that sacrifice which God finds his delight in. We're going to see presently that the man has fought in it. His friends have part, and the priestly family has part and Christ has part.
Here it says in the 60s words of the sacrifice of his offering the avow. And this says, if he should be eaten on the same day that he offered the sacrifice, and on the Morrow also. But the remainder of the flash is a sacrifice, on the third day shall be frank with fire. And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his sea softly be eaten at all on the Thursday, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offer this it shall be an abomination.
And the soul of Jesus Iniquity. Let's not try to go on now with the joys that God gave us in our soul in time past. We can look back with rejoicing to see how God has led us. God wants us to be up to date in the enjoyment of time, up to date in the enjoyment of Christ. He wants this enjoyment to go on every day a fresh thing. We eat new, we eat new food every day. We don't say, well I ate a good meal 3 weeks ago and bought them. Now we eat every day.
And so here it is that we need to feed upon Christ. And that's the point here. It would not be accepted on the third day. Now in the in the 19th verse, before we go on to see the special provisions made to the priest, notice that 19th verse says the flesh that touches any unclean things shall not be eaten. It shall be brought with fire. And As for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. Ah, that take things in those who can eat the sacrifice.
Now they couldn't eat the break offering because the brain offering, a whole sacrifice, went up on the alcohol. They couldn't meet the thin offerings, the main one. We'll see when we come to that. There's a difference. They couldn't meet the maintenance offerings because those bodies of the beast were carried outside the camp. There were certain spin offerings that the priest, the priest could eat some of, but when it comes to the to the peace offering, they're all sharing in it. Jehovah had that whole fat tail. He had the fat and and the blood. He had his portion now.
The sacrifice of the man who sacrificed them and his friends all let's be clean. You know that thing is an important thought we're going to see presently. You know in Corinthians when it comes about to the Lord's table, it says let a man show examine himself and so let him eat. God will have us come to the Lord's table judge. But I'm anticipating a bit. I notice there's over the Deuteronomy 12. I think we get an example of how the how the peace offering was eaten. There were other offenses mentioned that but I believe this is included in it in the 12Th chapter of Deuteronomy.
And 4017?
Thou mayest not eat within thy age the tide of thy corn, for thy wine, or thy oil, or the first things that I heard, or thy flocks, nor any of thy vows which thou bow, nor any for nor thy free will offer for him offering of thy hands. But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose. Thou my son and my daughter, and my manservant, and my maid servant, and the Levite that is within my gate.
00:40:24
And now it will rejoice before the Lord thy God of all to thou put us on hands on, so we find that this peace offering could be shared with the relatives and the Levites and and the servants. And it was to the easiness of place where the Lord had chosen to put his name. That's a such an important thing to notice, that where the Lord has put his name, that was the place it was to be eaten, not within their gate. You can't.
We cannot get away from the collective position that we God has brought up. They can eat ordinary food in there within their gates. So they couldn't eat this sacrifice which spoke of collective communion. They couldn't eat that within their gate. They had to be at the place where the Lord has placed His name now going on in our chapter, the in the 6th rather the 7th chapter and the.
I want to comment a bit on the what we have about the priest down in the 30th, 31St verse.
His own hand shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire. The fat of the breath hit shall he bring that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord, and the priest shall burn the fat upon the author, but the breath shall be Aaron and sun. Notice again how shifted differentiate the the breath. The wave breath was for the priestly family, but who got the right shoulder down a moment?
For 33 he among the sons of Aaron, and offers the blood of the peace offering.
And the fact shall have the right shoulder for his part. That's right. So now we see Jehovah's and his part, the author and his friends that have their part. Now the priestly family comes in whenever you have Aaron and his son. It's representative of us now as a priestly family. And what do the priestly family have? The breath. Oh, how wonderful that is. All the affections of Christ, all the love from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We can say the Son of God.
Who love me and gave himself for me. The Apostle Paul didn't make that plural there. In that case he said The Son of God who loved me All dear fellow believers, how much are you and I feeding upon that wave breath. The waves breath was connected to with resurrection.
Waves before the Lord. The apostle John knew something about this. The apostle John speak to themselves as that disciple whom Jesus loved, and there was that last feast through them by how he laid his head on Jesus bosom. John was no stranger in the Lord's presence. John didn't consider it presumption to draw near the Christ, and so he loves these. Find a disciple whom he loves. And Paul was not one brick behind him, because Paul says the Father of God will love me.
John, you're not alone. You may have seen Christ here on earth, and you laid your head on his rules, but He loves me too. He died for me. He gave himself for me. And so how good it is to enjoy the breath. How much of that are you? And I enjoy, if we enjoy the love of Christ, that we enjoy the the the thought that God finds infinite delight in Christ. And we come to the Lord day morning meeting with all these precious thoughts on our hearts. How little.
And you are enjoyment of that speech that we're going to look at presently, which is connected with this sacrifice.
And so the priestly family gets the affection. Now we might add one on the thought. You know, we must not forget that the father of the show, John 1627, says the Father himself loveth you, The Father himself loveth you. We have to think of the love of Christ more, because that love is shown outwardly. He gave himself for us. We have the love of the Father. So I believe in the in the breastfeed, the main thought is all of the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That part that beat for you and me on, I am the glory that love has never seen. Having loved his own with you in the world, He loved them unto the automobile. He loved them to the end. The Lord Jesus has never stopped loving his own.
00:45:01
Are you alive? Feeding on the breath? It belongs to us. We're the police family. Enjoy the affections of Christ. If you and I woke up every morning with that thought, Christ loves me All the love of Christ is forming. All of difference it would make in many of our thoughts and ways. Well, now let us see about the right shoulder. Our time is passing beyond. And I want to consider these New Testament aspects in the 32nd verse, The right shoulders.
Ciao.
He's given up with a priest for an evil offering of the sacrifices of your peace offering. He among the sons of Aaron that offer supplies of the peace, authority, and the fact.
Shall have the right shoulders for his part.
Who is it that offers the blood? Who is it that offered the fast? Right now Christ has his fortune. Jehovah's had his. The priestly family, the man and his friends have had theirs. But Christ has his fortune. All our wonderful air on the 53rd of Isaiah, we all know it well. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied if the skin and the brain offline represents Christ satisfaction with that mighty work that he gets voluntarily for the glory of the Father. It's the right shoulder brings in.
His joy in having with himself those he has redeemed the right shoulder would bring in power. Do you know the right hand of power? We get that expression in Matthew 26, the right hand. And Scripture is the hand of power. But by right hand she'll teach these terrible things. That's in the day of wrath.
So that the right shoulder speaks of all the strength and the power and the glory that's coming to Christ and what he's going to share, he's going to share with us. Now in Matthew 26, let's turn to it. There's another word that many scriptures that we can notice, but just notice Matthew 26.
And verse 29.
It's interesting and all of the verse 28 he speaks of shedding his, shedding his flags.
We have in our chapter heated off of the blood, and every 29 he says, I will not drink henceforth of this truth of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom. Has Christ lost the Kingdom because he's rejected? No, the right shoulder is here. All the strength of that coming day belongs to him already, he tells us in Matthew the last chapter. All power in heaven and the earth are given unto me.
Oh, what a wonderful portion Christ has. Now we might turn to Ephesians 1 Mother in the New Testament. Perhaps this will be the last one to refer the one that subject. But it's such a wonderful thought that Christ has been exalted. Notice that the breast is called the ways bread. It was ways before the Lord, but the shoulder was fall to his shoulder because it was exalted and held up Speaking of Christ and glory in that sense as the waving speech of resurrection.
The word he brings in the thought of it lifting up or exhausting. So now we're going to have an aspect of it in Ephesians One, verse 20, verse 19.
The exceeding greatness of His power to us with who believes according to the working of His mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised Him from the dead, and sent him at his own right, and in heavenly places, are above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named.
Not only in this world, but also in that which is the common, and have put all things under his feet.
And gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the foals of him, the Philip, all and all. The right shoulder belongs to him. And we're going to share all these things in that coming day. Now, the peace offering corresponds in the New Testament, I believe, to the Lord's Supper. Now we don't have death in the Lord's Supper in the sense we have it in the peace offering. But we do have death in the Lord's suffer in another way. Now let's turn. I know our time is about up and I trust you. Let me have a few more minutes to apply this.
1St Corinthians 10 Whether the reference made to the peace often really.
But the 1St Corinthians 10.
Verse 15 I think as the wise men judge me what I say, the couple blessing which we bless, This is not the communion of the blood of Christ. The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ. So we, being many, are one bread and one body, but we are all partakers of that one bread, All Israel, after the flash or not, they would eat of the sacrifices, acres of the altars.
00:50:15
The 18th verse clearly refers to the peace offer the children of Israel ate when they ate at the sacrifice they were particularly also they were identified with the author now in the remembrance of the Lord.
Can the Lord suffer? We have death in that we remember Christ and death. We do not have actual death, but we have the remembrance of it and that memorial.
Rest followedly upon the bright offering upon the fire that is upon the altar. When we come on Thursday morning to remember the Lord Jesus, our hearts are carried back to that work that you did on the cross. And we know that all is well. We know that God is glorified, we know that we are accepted, and one of the results, praise and worship goes up. We didn't have time to turn to it. But when Solomon dedicated the temple, when he prayed, why, I came down from heaven and consumed the fright offering. And as soon as the fright offering was consumed, all the people of Israel fell down and worshiped.
The worship was connected with the consumption of the bright offering on the altar. And so the peace opening flows from the bride offering says worship says the presentation of Christ. And so notice here there's communion in verse 16. The couple blessing which we blast. It is not the communion of the blood of Christ, the blood of the competent first. We've often been reminded of this. It's mentioned first in the 10th chapter because that's not the supper there. When it comes to the supper, the bread comes first.
That's the next step when it comes to the Lord's table. What gives me right to be at the Lord's table? And so the couple sent him first. And when it says the communion of the blood of Christ, I believe it swings before the common ground of flexing are with every believer fan in virtue of the precious love of Christ. You can't find a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ anywhere on the earth who doesn't have the same blessing you have through the blood. His sins are forgiven.
He's been reconciled with God. He's been brought in here. He shelters, He's got a good conscience before dawn. The blood is the common ground of blessing for every believer. And throw a set here, these couple blessing, which we bless. When we drink of that cup on large day mornings, we're expressing unity.
We might think the unity is only connected with a low the unities connected with a car, with all the major drinks. By 1 Spirit, Paul tells us to meet the 12Th chapter First Corinthians. When we drink of that cup, we're drinking in common with all who are on the ground of blackened. They may not be there, they may not be a different orders of men, but the communion of a lot of pride cannot be broken. And so we go on. The next thing is, the bread which we break isn't not the communion of the Body of Christ.
Now when we break that bread.
Verse 17 Who we, being many are one bread or one wolf that should read in one body, but we are all partakers of that one loaf. But we all partake of that one loaf and that one roll is not a sectarian role. When we sit down here on Laws day morning is gathered to the Lords name. That loaf on the table does not represent the gathered things at all. It doesn't represent those who are gathered in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It represents all believers.
It's one loaf, one body, and you can't exclude anybody from that low. I have brother. Hey, how I think he's dressed it very nicely. One time he was in Smith Ball and he met the Anglican minister. I think the Anglican minister was a saved man. And Mr. Hayhoe said, you know, I'm sorry I saw you with the breaking of bread this morning. He says I wasn't there. Oh, yes, you want. Mr. Hale said you were in the one loaf we had on the table. So that one loaf on the table represents every believer in China.
Every believer of Indonesia, every believer in Canada, every believer from the North Pole of the South Pole, every believer is Far East and West as you can go. Every believer on earth is in that one role, if it's anything else, is the sectarian law. And so the bread which we break is it not the communion body of sight. Now when we break that low, we're identified with the table with which is connected. Now there are some who have left the Lord's table and a set of other tables.
And while they go through the remembrance of the Lord in that way, having left the ground, having gone aside on the ground of some doctrine, or refusing to bow the assembly decision or whatever, The thing is, what is their local representative? It represents A schismatic position. It represents a state of things and state of departure. But here we have in Torrance, before there any divisions are split, we have this role. It's the one low, and it represents the whole body of Christ. Now, in the 11Th chapter, we can't dwell any longer on this. I see him over a bit.
00:55:22
But we can't stop without noticing the actual remembrance itself in the 11Th chapter.
Verse 23 For I have received the Lord that was called for. I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he break it, says, take, eat. This is my body which is for you. The way it's broken really doesn't belong now that which is for you. This do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cough.
When he had stopped saying, This cop is the New Testament in my blood. This do he is off to be drinking in remembrance of maze this bread and drink his coffee and show the Lord's death till he come. Now one other thought there in the end of the in the.
29th First, he that needed and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not determining the Lord's body. I'm reading that verse to get the expression of the Lord's body. Now the Lord's body in the 11Th chapter is not the same as the body in the 10th chapter. The body in the 10th chapter is the Church.
The body in the 11Th chapters of holy sinless body that was nailed to cross. And that's what we determined the Lords body. And when we partake of the loaf into the cup we discerned the Lords body that was hung for us on the cross before the breaking of the laws. We see the church, we see the the unity there. But after the bread is broken we see we just turn the Lord's body. We don't call it we came to eat to satisfy our hunger. We wouldn't be determining the Lord's father.
We can even drink to satisfy our hunger. That would not be to keep the Lord supple. And that's what the Corinthians were failing in. They were supposed to be keeping the Lord Supper, but they weren't. They were keeping their own supper. So it's the solemn things. Now we know that. Two things here.
Is often. If you eat the spread verse 26 and drink this cup, and you show the Lord's death till he comes, there is no other wedding in which to remember the Lord. You might come and sit here.
And enjoy the worship, enjoy what is said and done, and rejoice in it all. But if you haven't partaken of the Logan of the Cup, you haven't remembered the Lord You thought of him. You remember them in that sense, but you haven't remembered them in the appointed way. So I believe that this is all connected with the peace officer, our peace offering.
Has nothing to do with an actual sacrifice of sin. That's what Rome was made. They thought to make it a sacrifice of family, and they nullified the whole joyful effect of it.
