Lev Msg 15

1. In Himself, Christ is the reality of the offerings, but He cannot be this reality to us apart from His being the life-giving Spirit.
2. The fine flour signifies Christ's humanity, which is balanced and fine.
3. The oil signifies divinity.
4. The sweet savor of frankincense signifies the fragrance of Christ's resurrection.
5. Salt signifies the death, or the cross, of Christ.
6. To drink the Lord's cup and to be baptized with the baptism with which He has been baptized are to experience His death, to have His death applied to us in our experience.
7. The Lord rejected His natural life and lived by the life of the Father. This is resurrection.
8. The meal offering can either be in the form of flour mingled with oil, or it may be in the form of a cake.
9. The salt will deal with the leaven, with the germs of sin; the salt will also deal with the honey, putting the natural life to death.
