Eat the Son of Man

3/29/24, 3:31 AM

Listen! The Most High ate the sacrifices offered to Him by the Israelites. He consumed them by fire, for God is a consuming fire. As it says,

So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on. For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw [this,] they fell on their faces to the ground. (Judges 13:19-20 NASB95)

And it also says,

"Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and [that] You have turned their heart back again." Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, "The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God." (1 Kings 18:37-39 NASB95)

Listen! What can man sacrifice for the Most High? As it says,

"Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God. I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me. I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds. For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and all it contains. Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats? (Psalm 50:7-14 NASB95)

But rather,

So he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." But they could not tell the riddle in three days. (Judges 14:14 NASB95)

You see, the Eater of sacrifices gave a sacrifice for us to eat. For when the Christ came He said,

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. (John 6:53-55 NASB95)

Therefore,

"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." (Psalm 50:14-15 NASB95)
