Numbers 28:1

Numbers 28:1 says, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Verse two adds, Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.  God told Moses to tell the people of Israel that they were to offer bread made for sacrifices by fire to Him as a sweet savor in due season.  Matthew Henry points out that this was a new generation, and that though God had already given His law, it was to be repeated to them so that they could not claim to have never heard it, and that they were now going to war, but this did not exempt them from obeying God's law.  Our offerings to God today are still a sweet savor to God and should be offered in due season, or at the time they are due.  We are still to make sure that the next generation knows God's law, beginning with knowing that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, and we are to do this even as we are at war with the world.  Verse three continues, And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.  God then specified what this burnt offering was to be, two lambs of the first year without blemish, or the best of their lambs.  God should still guide us in what we offer to Him today, but the first thing we must offer is ourself through putting our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Then, we should offer the best of everything else that we have to Him.  Verse four concludes, The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;  One of the lambs was to be offered in the morning and one in the evening, which would basically mean that they were dedicated to God all day and all night. We are likewise to offer the best that we have to God, day and night, or continually.  Verse five states, And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.  The offering was to also include an ephah of flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of oil beaten in as a meat offering.  Verse six adds, It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.  Moses was to remind the people that this sacrifice had been ordained at Mount Sinai when God's law was first given.  God's law does not change from generation to generation, nor from situation to situation.  Verse seven says, And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.  They were also bring a drink offering of strong wine to be poured out to the LORD in the holy place with the one lamb.  Jesus Christ became our bread and wine offering to God, by sacrificing His body and blood on the cross.  Verse eight adds, And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.  The other lamb with te wine was to be offered in the evening.  There is not a time of the day when we as followers of Christ should not offer the best that we have to God.  Verse nine states, And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:  Verse ten adds, This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.  The offering on the sabbath day was to be more than on any other day.  I believe that God still expects us to keep the sabbath, or as we now observe,  the Lord’s Day, as a time to rest and worship Him.
