Leviticus 3: 1
And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd, whether it be male of female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
JESUS IS OUR PEACE
The peace offering is a symbol of the whole work of Christ in relation to the believer's peace. Jesus made peace with GOD through His obedience even unto death. JESUS proclaimed peace to every person, while He walked the earth. JESUS is our peace through His shed Blood. JESUS was the Lamb, without spot or blemish, offered by His free will, upon the Altar as the atonement for the sin of the world.
The Rabbinical Commentary states this," the Hebrew is zebach shelamin which is a fulfillment of a vow, or in gratitude for benefits received or expected. It would thus be an occasion when man seeks and obtains peace with his Creator" " It promoted the feeling of solidarity in the nation or family, and also pointed to dependence upon GOD for protection and for all the blessings of life"
JESUS fulfilled His vow to GOD for the redemption of humankind, He fulfilled it once and for all for all believers in Him, both male and female. In JESUS, GOD and the sinner meet in peace. It is grace bought with the price of the blood of JESUS, and sealed forever with His Blood.
THROUGH JESUS, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD.
