Chapter 2 – Grain Offerings (loveliness of Christ). Incarnation and Perfect Obedience: Leviticus 2 describes the grain offering, consisting of fine flour, representing the firstfruits of the harvest. How does this offering foreshadow the significance of Christ's incarnate/sinless life? Discuss how Christ's life, perfectly obedient to the Law (Matthew 5:17), becomes the offering that fulfills the demands God could not make of sinful humanity. Supporting scripture, Philippians 2:5-8, Hebrews 7:26, and Romans 5:18-19. Faith and Works in Harmony: The grain offering required specific actions (grinding, mixing with oil), alongside the offering itself. How does this foreshadow justification by faith alone, but with good works as a necessary fruit of genuine faith? Discuss how Christ's perfect offering on the cross secures salvation, while the grain offering points to the believer's response of living a life pleasing to God. Explore Romans 3:28, James 2:14-26, and Ephesians 2:8-10. Christ as our Bread of Life: The grain offering is a reminder of God's provision and sustenance for His people. How does this foreshadow Christ's identification as the "bread of life" (John 6:35)? Discuss how Christ, through his sacrifice and ongoing presence through the Holy Spirit, nourishes and sustains the spiritual lives of believers. Explore passages like John 6:48-51, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, and Colossians 3:1-4. Chapter 3 – Peace Offerings (Christ our peace). Reconciliation and Communion: Leviticus 3 outlines the peace offering, involving a sacrifice shared between the offerer, the priests, and God. How does this offering foreshadow the future work of Christ in reconciling humanity to God and establishing a new covenant of fellowship? Discuss how Christ's sacrifice not only appeases God's wrath but also allows for restored communion between God and His elect people. Explore scripture like Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:13-18, and Hebrews 9:11-15. Types and Antitypes: The peace offering has elements foreshadowing aspects of Christ's ministry. The burning of fat on the altar signifies the offering being pleasing to God, while the blood points to atonement. How does this support the understanding of typology, where the peace offering serves as a type and Christ as the ultimate antitype, fulfilling the foreshadowed realities? Are there other typological connections between the peace offering and Christ's work? Gratitude and Joy of Salvation: The peace offering is associated with thanksgiving and fellowship. How does this foreshadow the future joy and peace experienced by believers through the redemptive work of Christ? Dis
