14If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire. 15And you are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16The priest shall then burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all its frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Proverbs 3: 9Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your harvest;
10then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Those of us who like to cook know that if grains, nuts and herbs are roasted in a pan, it intensifies the aromatics and flavors.
My wife has a favorite holiday dish she prepares, walnuts smothered in maple syrup with vanilla and a pinch of salt. The walnuts are roasted in a skillet and the syrup is added with the other ingredients and they are roasted until it starts to caramelize, they bubble up and boil. Then they are poured out on parchment paper and allowed to cool. If they are roasted long enough they are not wet or sticky.
Scrumptious!
Who is our firstfruits?
1 Corinthians 15: 20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Is He yours?
Blessings, David
