‏ Leviticus 2:9

The Priest and the Grain Offering

He who comes with a grain offering gives it to the priest. The offeror and the priest are both a picture of the believer. The believer may have seen something of the glory of the Lord Jesus. That is what he wants to tell God, to offer Him. In the moment that he tells it to God, he is busy as a priest. Until that moment he is an offeror, then he is busy with the offering itself, with the ‘ingredients’ of it. Being busy with the offering is the preparation for the priestly service.

No one but the priest may bring the offering. He is called by God. “And no one takes the honor to himself, but [receives it] when he is called by God, even as Aaron was” (Heb 5:4). It is the arrogance of the roman-catholic church that it does calls priests. Every change that people make in matters regulated and determined by God brings with it a curse (cf. Dan 7:25-26).
