Leviticus 3:1

Leviticus 3:1 says, And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD,  Peace offerings were to be from the herd, or cattle, and could be either male or female.  It to was to be without blemish, or in other words not some sickly or deformed bull or cow.  Though what we bring to God may change, He always expects us to bring the best that we have.  Verse two adds, And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.  The man making the sacrifice was to put his hands on the head of the sacrifice and kill it in front of the tabernacle and Aaron's sons the priests would sprinkle the blood around the altar.  Once more, the blood was to represent the bringing of peace, just as the blood of Jesus should bring us peace today.  Verse three continues, And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,  Certain portions of the animal were to be offered as a burned sacrifice.  Verse four states, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.  Verse five adds, And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.  These specific parts were to be burned and they would be a sweet savor, or scent, to the LORD.  We must come to God on His terms, which is through the blood of Christ, and we must then present our lives to Him to be used as He sees fit, which will bring a sweet scent unto God.  Verse six continues, And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. Once more it is stated that the sacrifice should be without blemish.  Sometimes God tells us things more than once to make sure that we understand what He is telling us is important.  Verse seven says, If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD.  There are now instructions for offering a lamb that would be without blemish.  Of course, Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God, and He was certainly without blemish spiritually, and when we accept His sacrifice for our sins, then He makes us the same way.  Verse eight adds, And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.  The same instructions were to apply to the killing sacrifice and sprinkling of the blood as before. Verse nine continues, And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,  Verse ten states, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by then flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.  Some of the inward parts of the animal that were to be burned differed from before, just as each individual today will differ in what he or she can offer to God.  Verse eleven adds, And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.  Once more, this was to be burned as an offering to the LORD.  This will be repeated several times in Leviticus, and I believe that it says to us today as followers of Christ that once we bring a sacrifice to God that it is His to do with as He sees fit.  All we can do is bring ourselves and the best that we have to God.
