An Offering of You

Reading about the sacrifices brought to the Temple.  In the book Torah Studies Rabbi Schneerson, talks about the sentence "if any man brings an offering of you..." He says it Seems to have a misplaced word, however this is never the case in the scripture! When a word seems misplaced or out of the ordinary it is there for a purpose, placed there in that way by G-d. Man himself is the sanctuary of G-d, man himself is the sacrifice offered to G-d. First the sacrifice itself was an animal, "from the cattle, the herd and the flock". This represents the animal nature, human nature, the flesh. We are to bring an offering to be consumed or to be licked up by the flames of the purifying holiness of a righteous G-d. The sacrifice to be offered was first inspected to make sure that it was without blemish. When we bring ourself before the LORD as a sacrifice to "draw near" to Him, we must use self examination. Offering ourself "spiritually" is one thing but to offer up the animal side of our selves is another. This is how we sanctify our earthly nature. When we offer our flesh to the service of the LORD there is a transcendence of the heavenly to the earthly. When we bring our earthly "animal body" or "old man" into subjection with G-d's will and service then the "kavod" glory of G-d can be revealed in the world. How do we see the glory of G-d? We have seen it "in the face of Jesus Christ". In other words when we submit our body, to the will of G-d we enable the will of G-d to be revealed in the earth. This is how the world will see Jesus. His glory must transcend the spiritual or heavenly to the earthly or flesh and blood realm. We are not walking in the unity of the Spirit if our "body of flesh" is not put under the feet of Jesus. The world, our family, our husband, our children, our friends, our enemies will not see Jesus or the love of G-d if they do not see the "kavod" glory of Jesus in our human faces. If your soul is saved and your spirit is born again they will not see it unless your earthly frame shines with a radiance of an "animal sacrifice" (allowing our human nature) to be
  consumed in the fire of G-d's Holiness
