Teaching Points The Role of PriestsThe priests served as mediators between God and the people, highlighting the importance of intercession and spiritual leadership in the community of faith. Symbolism of the Offering The grain offering, with its fine flour, oil, and frankincense, symbolizes dedication, purity, and the pleasing nature of worship when offered sincerely to God. The Pleasing Aroma The concept of a "pleasing aroma" signifies that God delights in sincere worship and obedience, encouraging believers to examine the motives behind their acts of worship. Christ as the Ultimate Sacrifice The sacrificial system points to Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross fulfills the need for offerings, inviting believers to rest in His completed work. Living Sacrifices Believers are called to live lives of worship, offering themselves wholly to God in service and obedience, reflecting the principles of the sacrificial system in daily life.(2) And he shall take.--Better, And the priest shall take from it a handful of its flour and of its oil with all its frankincense, and this shall he burn as its memorial upon the altar, &c. Memorial.--So called because it was designed to bring the worshipper into the grateful remembrance of God, and to remind him, as it were, of His promise to accept the service of His people rendered to Him in accordance with his command. Hence the declaration of the Psalmist, "the Lord remember all thine offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice" (Psalm 20:4), and of the angel to Cornelius, "thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God" (Acts 10:4). Verse 2. - He shall take there out his handful. This was the task of the priest. The handful that he took and burnt upon the altar has the technical and significative name of the memorial. It acted as a memorial before God, in the same way as Cornelius's prayers and alms - "Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God" (Acts 10:4) - being something which should cause God to think graciously of the offerer. The frankincense is not mixed with the flour and the oil and the salt, as a constituent element of the offering, but is placed upon them, and is all of it burnt in "the memorial," symbolizing the need of adding prayer to sacrifice, that the latter may be acceptable to God.Parallel Commentaries ...
