The commands the Lord gave through Moses were the inheritance of the people. Through these commands the people would become consecrated to the Lord and would relate to one another, not according to the dictates of the flesh but of the Spirit. The soul sees how along its own journey it could be misled by what through the eyes of flesh is considered acceptable. The flesh with its many limitations seeks to please everyone. Soon to accomplish these desires flesh begins to offer lip service to God and neighbor.
Selfishness dictates what is offered and how it is offered.
The Lord who is way, the truth, and the life, comes to our rescue. He shows us the true meaning of what an acceptable sacrifice is. The soul enters into the eternal sacrifice of Jesus and understands the meaning of what is acceptable before God. With the Lord and in Him, the soul seeks to go through the process of grinding and crushing - that it too may become bread and wine. Thus united with the eternal sacrifice of the Lord, it knows that its sacrifice will be acceptable before the throne of God.
