The Grain Offering on the Griddle

The grain offering “on the griddle” must be broken into bits. It is reminiscent of what the Lord Jesus experienced at the end of His life, when all friendship and love is broken into bits.

1. His disciples sleep while He has asked them to watch with Him (Mt 26:36-43).

2. Judas, whom He calls friend, betrays him (Mt 26:14-16 ; 47-49).

3. Peter denies him (Mt 26:69-75).

4. The people who first hailed Him, reject Him and cry out: “Away with this man” (Lk 23:18).

When we think of the Lord Jesus in this way and tell God how He is perfect in these circumstances, we bring a grain offering from the griddle. Everything that has been done to the Lord Jesus in this respect has touched Him deeply. At the same time, in all those bits, all those events, it appears how much the Holy Spirit (the oil) has led Him to go His way to the end – to the glory of God.
