Leviticus 2:15 NLT
“Put olive oil on this grain offering, and sprinkle it with frankincense.”
To what end?
Did you know that God’s love has never made His love hidden from humanity? Using the Israelites as a case in point, one would undoubtedly see how God showed His love to them as they transverse the wilderness. Although the sacrificial law given to them required different types of inputs, none of them was beyond their reach. Note that God required that they put olive oil on the grain offering. Olive trees were natural habitats of the promised land and even the wilderness. Hence making olive oil was not a strenuous exercise for the Israelites. God ensured that what they needed to conduct any of the sacrifices was within their environment. Since God displayed that kind of love while the Israelites were under the law, how much more is His love in the new covenant purchased through the blood of the Lamb? On a similar note, to what end were the needs for olive oil and frankincense? Without a doubt, every divine instruction has at least one purpose, and the same thing applies to olive oil and frankincense. The olive oil represents the holy spirit, while frankincense represents Jesus’s deity. Friends, our worship must not only invite the presence of the Holy Spirit but must always crown Jesus as the Lord that He is.
Prayer
Lord of all creations, please help me so I don’t drive You away with below-par worship. In Jesus’s name, amen.
