Sallah Meat
Sallah Banquet.
Abraham was a good friend of God. God had a covenant with him. One day,
God called him by name, in other to test his faith in him, to take him son and set out to an unknown place for to sacrifice to him. Because Abraham believed in the Almightiness of God that He could do all things, he went without complaining of anything. When he got to the said place, God told him to tie his son as a sacrifice. When Abraham was about to kill his son, God stopped him and asked him to look up to see the lamb for the sacrifice. A prepared lamb was used for the sacrifice instead of his son. He called the place Jehovah jireh. This became an institution to always us a lamb without blemish to offer to God as sin offering. This continued when the children after Abraham, far back in Egypt were about to gain their freedom. On that night, they took lambs for themselves to be killed without the gate and the lintel of their houses stained with the killed unspotted lambs. This is symbolic to the Sallah meat of today. Animals are bought and instructions given that they must not be used to fight one another just for it to be accepted. Each family with a lamb or as the case may be. The priest will offer prayers on the lamb on behave of the family and kills it.
This is very symbolic. Right from the beginning, animals were used as sin offering until Jesus Christ, the proper Lamb of God, came and was offered as final sin offering for the whole world. God has prepared Christ to be killed just as he provided a lamb by Himself for Abraham. We do not need to offer any animal at anytime or festivals. Jesus has came and killed as the Sallah lamb some two thousand years ago. He had borne our sins for us. We don't need to suffer for our sins again. Jesus has borne it all. He was beaten 40stripes each signifying a particular problem. He blood was drained to the last drop just for you and me to be cleansed by it. Before he breathed the last, he said that, it is finished! All the yearly killing if animals is finishes, all the guilts of sins is finished, all the bowing down for worship at regular intervals is finished, all the post-prayers for dead corps is finished, all the dependence on good works is finished, all the going to an alpha, pastor, prophet or alhaji for spiritual solution is finished. After that, he died and resurrected the third day. He won the victory!
Now, you can come to the throne of grace, no matter your religion, good works and self righteousness(which are a as filthy rags before God) and ask whatsoever you need from God. You need the salvation(save the nation) that Christ brought? This has been made possible only in the name of Jesus. Only Jesus can save from the wrath to come. Jesus loves you! Do you love Him at all? Now, you can be a friend of Jesus by saying, Lord Jesus, I thank you because you died for me. Now, I realise my ignorances and I promise to live for you with the whole of my heart. Give me grace to follow. Thank you Jesus!
Congrats! You are now a friend of Jesus. Get a copy of the inspired word of God, The Holy Bible and read it for more direction from God. Also go to a bible believing church for spiritual strength. God bless.
