How do we know the meat offering represents Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The meat offering represents Christ by depicting His perfect obedience and the sufficiency of His life as our representative before God.

The meat offering, as described in Leviticus 2, represents Christ in multiple facets. It highlights His impeccable obedience and sinlessness, crucial for understanding His role as our mediator. The ingredients, such as fine flour mingled with oil and the addition of frankincense, represent Christ's perfect humanity and the divine anointing by the Holy Spirit. These elements denote that He fulfilled all righteousness on behalf of God's elect, making Him the only fitting representative before God. As Christians, we recognize that this offering illustrates not only Christ's character but also the manner in which He completely satisfies divine justice and upholds God’s covenant promises, thereby assuring believers of their acceptance based upon His life.
