George Davison · The Peace Offering

At the end of John 14, we hear the Lord saying, "But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do" (v.31); the wave offering underlay the heave offering, love underlying what He did. What He did, He did out of love for the Father. Again in the next chapter He says, "greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (v.13); again the wave offering underlies the heave offering, every move that was made for the pleasure of God was actuated by divine love. Hence the wave breast always comes first.
