When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord.
Leviticus 3:1 NKJV
I was thinking about this offering without blemish today. An offering without blemish, when it came from the livestock, was a kind of partnership between man and God.
Some animals come into this world with blemish - a birth defect. Others may be blemished by poor care. In either case, whether it’s your fault or not, the idea is not to unload your least valuable sacrifice on God, but your most valuable.
It was also as a picture of God giving His very best, His Son, without blemish to us.
I am reminded today: How can I give God my very best?
Father, I give my best, and all I am, to You today. Amen.
