So far, the sacrifices we have read about are those that can be termed ‘freewill’ offerings.  That is to say they are offered voluntarily and often spontaneously as acts of worship and thanksgiving, that are simply responsive to God’s unending goodness.   Today’s ‘peace offering’ falls into the same ‘freewill’ category, and when read together with the Lord’s instructions for those parts not to be burnt on the altar (Leviticus 7: 11-21), this offering speaks volumes of how God was transforming this offering into a blessing for His people; the blessing of community.  Those parts that were not burnt at the altar were to be enjoyed in fellowship on the first and second days of the offering.  In Leviticus 2 we also read that a significant portion of the grain offering was to be enjoyed by the priests in fellowship with one another.  God is continually extending the invitation for fellowship, and making it integral to the sacrificial rituals He establishes.  The spirit of this Old Covenant fellowship is reinforced throughout the New Testament and New Covenant, particularly in regard to the Lord’s Supper.  Paul rebuked the church at Corinth for how divisive they allowed the Lord’s Supper to become, and implored them to transform this into an inclusive celebration the Lord would be happy to preside over.  Those who witness our spontaneous responses to God’s unending goodness should feel an invitation rather than an exclusion to enter into His fellowship.  Pray that God’s abounding love would flow through you to others in a way that continually builds and strengthens His Kingdom here on earth.
