An excellent and Biblical analysis.
There is a lot to be said for the use of Fat, of what it symbolises, in the Scriptures. In many respects it is regarded as being the choicest part. God chooses the fat as a part of sacrifice and deems that it is to Him a sweet smelling savour, and is to be wholly burnt up in sacrifices. We also know from the Scriptures that it represent wealth and prosperity, and that makes me say that in the sacrifice it has a further purpose. We are what we appear to be in the sight of the world by the grace of God, our wealth, prosperity, status, calling, comforts, and more, are gifts from God by His grace. Therefore I believe that the reason for God instructing the precious, and delicious fat, to be wholly offered and completely burnt up, is God’s way of making us realise and acknowledge His grace in our lives, and that means that the fat is the way that mankind brings their sin of pride to the altar of sacrifice.
Jesus sacrificed Himself entirely for us, including such fat as was left in His body, but because He has in some ways made repentance so easy for us, depending on what and how we have been educated in the faith, we mostly miss out on repenting of pride which places a severe blockage in our lives to receive the grace of God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
