Why are peace offerings connected to Christ's resurrection?

Answered in 1 source

Peace offerings illustrate Christ's fulfillment of the sacrifice on the third day, symbolizing His resurrection.

The connection of peace offerings to Christ's resurrection is found in the stipulation that any part of the offering consumed on the third day would not be accepted by God (Leviticus 7:18). This foreshadows the necessity of Christ's resurrection on the third day, demonstrating that He abolished the need for legal offerings through His completed work. The peace offering symbolizes the reconciliation achieved through Christ, who is the ultimate peace offering for humanity. His rising from the dead not only fulfilled the law but also opened the way for believers to enjoy everlasting peace with God, emphasizing the transformative power of His resurrection for our salvation.
