Leviticus 3:3-4 NLT
“The priest must present part of this peace offering as a special gift to the Lord. This includes all the fat around the internal organs, the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These must be removed with the kidneys,”
The Lord’s portion
As long as a peace offering was offered, certain things must be observed, and none was subject to a downward revision. The priest couldn’t alter the instructions to favour anyone. The observance of the instruction was not peculiar to any time of the day or month in a year. Irrespective of the time the offering performed the peace offering, the priest must give a certain part as a special gift to the Lord. These parts included “all the fat around the internal organs, the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. “So what was the significance? Constable’s expository note stated that “in the Old Testament the kidneys and entrails represent the seat of human emotions,” and offering these to God represented “worshiper’s best and deepest emotions.” Friends, we no longer need to offer peace offerings because in Jesus were all laws fulfilled. God does not want emotionally driven thanksgiving; instead, He desires the one moderated by the Spirit of Christ. Let’s not hesitate to give it to God.
Prayer
Lord of all creation, I bring my sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving before You; please, accept my thanks. In Jesus’s name, amen.
