Leviticus and the Last Supper

So I was reading in Leviticus last week. I have prayed that as I go through the Bible, God would help me relate the old testament laws to his overall story of the gospel of redemption.
The first part of Leviticus, Moses writes down the offerings the Israelites are to give to the Lord. Leviticus 2 talks about the grain offering to the Lord. The grain offering to the Lord was to have incense poured on it and then broken into small pieces. Also, it was to be seasoned with salt. What was left over from the offering, the Priests would eat in the most holy of places.
So, this got me thinking about the Last Supper Jesus had with his disciples. In Mark 14, the woman pours perfume, or incense on Jesus, and a few verses later, Jesus eats the Last Supper, referring to the bread as his body broken for us and telling his disciples to eat of it. Soon, Jesus is betrayed and beaten, his body crushed and broken for our sin (Isaiah 53). Now I see the parallel. Jesus has become the grain offering.

He was broken for our sin so we could become like the Priests in Leviticus and enter into the most holy of places (God's presence) and eat of his body (accept his offering of grace).

 

If you're interested in reading the whole story, refer to Leviticus 2 and 6:14-23 and Mark 14.
