The peace offering is similar to the sin offering in many ways but the peace offering is a sacrificed animal of the field (no doves) with the fatty portions burned on the altar (not the various clean portions of the animal) and the meat is to be consumed by the people and priests. It is a recognition of the abundance the Lord has given and the response to His grace. Similarly, Jesus is our peace offering, not only justifying us from sin but continuing the peace we receive from God in our sanctification. We participate in this regularly in our sacrifice of praise in worship and our reception of the communion meal where we receive the body and blood of Christ unto the true Promised Land.
