Leviticus 3

The concept of a 'peace offering', as described in the text today, is rather unfamiliar to our modern culture. We see sacrificial offerings in movies, and the idea is related closely to Christ's death on the cross for our sins. Doing a little research, though, it appears that the peace offering was a representation of the relationship between God and a worshiper; it was done after any other offerings, and as best as I can put it showed that God and the individual were on okay terms. That is kind of a cool idea, but I'm glad we don't have to go through all of the ceremony the Israelites did to demonstrate it.
