In this video listen to Leviticus 3 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Leviticus 3 we have my personal favourite sacrifice - the peace offering. Peace is everything in the Old Testament. The word shalom represents health, wealth, success, prosperity, favour, family, friendships, long life, wisdom and much more.
Peace is the name of our church - a name we were given by the Lord. Scripture tells us in E’phesians 2:14 that Christ is our peace. And in Romans 5:1 it says "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
The peace offering is an animal sacrifice that feeds the worshipper just as the previous meal offering did. So these two offered together to God represent joy and peace, and they feed the one making an offering.
It’s an amazing picture of how in Christ we are fully fed with meat and bread. Christ offered himself not just for sin, but to be our joy and peace.
