One-Thing Study in Leviticus 2:10


"But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the LORD's food offerings."

- Leviticus 2:10

It is easy for us to view God as selfish or even sick when we read through all the sacrifices required under Old Testament Law. However, from the very beginning God established the sacrificial system in order to meet the needs of His people. The LORD would have His portion (Lev. 2:9), but verse 10 says He set apart the best portion of food for the priests who worked in the temple. God is others-centered.

Abraham referred to Him as the "LORD will provide" in Genesis 22:14 and Matthew 6:8 tells us that He knows what we need before we even ask Him. It is through the sacrificial system by which He fulfilled the physical needs of His people and ultimately, through Christ, He has met mankind's greatest need of all, and that is salvation from sin and death.
