The Shem MiShmuel (5671) says מאמר כ"ק אבי אדומו"ר זצללה"ה שפירש ההפרש שבין ויקר שנאמר בבלעם לויקרא שנאמר במשה, כי לשון ויקר היינו שהדיבור בא אליו למקומו ולא נתעלה ע"י הדיבור ונשאר בלעם הרשע כמו שהי' עומד מבחוץ, אבל לשון ויקרא הוא שקרא אותו שיקרב הלום, ונתעלה לקראת הדיבור עכת"ד. Vayikra means to call someone to come closer, when Hashem calls to someone, he is bringing them closer, raising them up.
These three instances of callings to Moshe are Hashem's way of raising up Klal Yisrael through the leader, Moshe Rabbenu. The three callings are pivotal moments in the advancement of Klal Yisrael. The first time is when Moshe is being selected as the leader to take the Jews out of Egypt. The second time is Matan Torah, the monumental moment when the heavens and earth meet via the giving of the Torah. In order to elevate Klal Yisrael to be able to be ready for this moment there needed to be a vayikra. Korbanot as well is the the way a person can elevate the physical domain to become closer to Hashem and that also requires an elevation to make it happen. The comparison to the vaykira of light is the message of all the vayikra's that Moshe experienced. When one is in a state of darkness, in a state where they need a boost, Hashem creates the light for the person to be elevate himself.
