In the meat offering [or meal offering], we have the personal, human perfection of Christ, fully tried up to the fire of death, proving by God's holy nature and sweet savor, the result—not leaven, not honey or nature in its sweetness, but perfect unleavened humanity, begotten sinless by the power of the Holy Ghost, anointed with it, sinless humanity moved by the Holy Ghost absolutely toward God, and never swerving till the last cup was drunk, which could test its perfection of nature, motive, and objects, and then His soul remitted into Father's hands. The burnt offering was devoted humanity. the meat offering, tested humanity—the one with sin in view about it, the other proving there was none in it, perfectly tried and every grace absolute in its perfection as offered to God.
