Leviticus 2:1-10 - Homilies By J.a. Macdonald

The feast upon the minchah.

In our remarks upon the two first of these verses, we viewed the minchah , or meat offering, as a type of Christ. Upon this point additional light may be incidentally thrown as we now proceed to consider the feast upon the minchah . For this we hold to be designed to represent our fellowship with God in Christ.

I. FEASTS HAVE EVER BEEN REGARDED AS TOKENS OF FRIENDSHIP .

1. Secular history abounds in examples.

2 . Sacred history also furnishes examples.

II. THE FEAST OF THE MEAT OFFERING WAS A SYMBOL OF FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD .

1 . The "memorial" of the minchah was God's meat.

2 . The remnant was then eaten by the priests.

III. CHRIST IS THE MEDIUM OF THIS FELLOWSHIP .

1 . Obviously so since the minchah was a type of Christ.

2 . Christ is delectable food to faith.
