The Grain Offering Explained: How Christ’s Life Becomes Our Strength | Leviticus 2

And now, praise the Lord, they see him running around at his job, and he looks just perfectly normal, but actually he’s running around on the divine human life. He now is operating in the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, and boy, that’s really humanity. There’s no weakness in that humanity. It doesn’t know any depression. I tell you, if the Lord Jesus Christ were a painter, He just wouldn’t be put down. If He were a student, He wouldn’t be put down because He has such a strong normal humanity.

Alright, so that humanity is delivered to you by the oil, by the divinity. At the same time, I am simply saying to you that all day tomorrow, there’s a weakness in your humanity that, when a situation arises, eat the grain. Just eat the grain, and then you will have the strength of the Lord’s life; in the oil and in the grain, then, praise God, comes the frankincense. There is a sense of resurrection. And that is a sweet smell to the Lord. That is so sweet to the Lord. You know who else it’s sweet to? It’s sweet to everybody else too. It fills the whole house with the aroma of incense going up, a resurrection of a brother, of a sister that have eaten the grain. It is in eating the grain and the oil has been mingled with them, and there’s just naturally resurrection.

I want to say something now that is extremely important to us meeting in the future. I want you just to put it on a peg because we’re gonna come back to it. Brothers and sisters, there are many offerings, but one of them is the offering of resurrection, and it is so different from any other offering. It is an offering that is sweet, and it has an aroma to it.

Who was the first person who ever had a resurrection offering to bring? Lazarus. And who was the next person, the very first person who ever got in on dealing with a resurrection? Peter? No. Mary! She had the news of the resurrection. Brothers and sisters, I don’t know if you noticed, but she didn’t go back shouting. She went back with an awe-filled joy. Can you understand that? Look at everybody who touched the resurrection. It was, “Oh, oh.”

I tell you, I love to hear a sister shout. I really do love to hear a sister shout. But I also tell you, there’s nobody that can bring resurrection like a sister. She gets up and just gives some sweet words; some dear aroma of the Lord having been resurrected. I hear the brothers get up…they’re so heavy; that’s wonderful. The sister can get up with just the Lord’s resurrection. And I’ll tell you what, a sister can feed me more than all the theological professors in the whole world. Is that not true? Just, just a resurrection offering.

I say, brothers, I know that to some degree I’m speaking not very practically, but I think you’re getting an impression, aren’t you? Sometimes we talk so much about resurrection, and also, praise the Lord, brothers and sisters, here is an offering that comes out of our daily living, but it’s daily living with the Lord.

And what am I? A weak human, am I not? Really a weak human. Praise God, I know another Human. And they put Him to the ground, and he came up as wheat, and I can eat Him. And as I eat Him, I am strengthened, and then I get something divine in me. Then, hallelujah, I am raised up, and I can live a human life that is really normal, and then I can bring that normality into the meeting, and I bring it as a sweet incense to the Lord.

You either got it or you didn’t. I don’t know whether you did or not, but I just want to tell you something: tomorrow be a priest, be a priest. Eat the grain of the strength of the humanity of the Lord, and Friday be a divine human, and then come back Friday night and in the house of God offer up your present to God. Father, look what Jesus did. Oh, I just ate of Him a little bit, Lord, as my vegetable, and He made me divinely human.  I live by a humanity that I’m not capable of living. Father, I want to offer that gift of Your Son to You. And there will be resurrection. That’s all I can tell you. There’ll be resurrection, not only in you, but in us. A brother said tonight, “I need encouragement.” Wow, isn’t that encouragement? Wow, that’s all, brothers and sisters.

I can tell you I am thankful for Thursday. Glory to the Lord. I’ll, I’ll praise the Lord for Thursday. I’m not gonna be here on Friday, but I’m gonna get back here Sunday night, and the first thing I’m gonna ask is, “How were things Friday night?” Brothers and sisters, just tomorrow morning get up and eat some grain. Will you get up in the morning and eat a handful of grain? And tomorrow, when somebody is sent from this world to do you in, you just stop a minute and say, “Excuse me, I’ve got to eat a little grain.”
