Names of Christ: The Peace Offering

Hi ladies. As we grow together and follow Jesus Christ, seeking to know God more intimately in our day-to-day lives, let's continue learning the many names of God in our Sunday blog posts. Each of God's many names describe a different aspect of His character and teaches us more about who He is. We are moving into the second part of the Trinity and now focusing on the many names of Christ. These will be shorter blog postings but equally important as we get to know the character of our Redeemer and King. Today, let's worship our Savior as we learn about Him... The Peace Offering.

The Peace Offering

And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. (Leviticus 3:1)

Is there any point of dispute between your Lord and you? One little thing which you do not surrender? He is right. He cannot change. It is your heart which must surrender. Then can you receive the peace which passes knowledge. He has made the offering which these Old Testament sacrifices prefigured and which atones for all your past, but you must yield your will to Him. Shall it be now?

Lord Jesus, change my heart by Your power that I may know the wonderful blessings of peace with God through Your atoning blood. Amen.

Fellowship Offering (NIV)

Thank you, Jesus, for revealing yourself to us. We praise your Name forever and ever!!!

Blessings!

The writer acknowledges a measure of indebtedness to such works as those of Webb-Peploe, Andrew Jukes, R. B. Girdlestone, and Parkhurst's Hebrew Lexicon. The Scripture quotations are from the King James Version and the American Standard Version (A.S.V.), while some are free translations from the Hebrew. In addition, The Devoted Woman has included data from other resources where we felt more explanation was necessary.
