Quick answer

A thanksgiving peace offering is accompanied by unleavened cakes and wafers mixed with oil. Gratitude to God was expressed with carefully prepared gifts.

Overview

When the peace offering arose from thankfulness, it was brought with various bread offerings, the oil signifying richness and blessing. These additions made thanksgiving a tangible, costly act of worship rather than mere words. Believers are likewise called to offer the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess God's name (Hebrews 13:15).

Christ at the center

Every sacrifice, every priest, and every day of atonement points beyond itself to the one perfect offering and the great High Priest who, by his own blood, makes the unclean holy once for all.

How Leviticus 7:12 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
