A Better Sacrifice

 

Today's verse is Exodus 29:38-39

     Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. 

     The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: 

        In the above passage we are told of two sacrifices to sanctify the altar, not to absolve, or even to cover sin, even for a season, but just to cleanse the altar, so that if might be usable for the other sacrifices, which also never could absolve, but only be a covering for sin for a limited time, that God would not destroy this year.  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. And for in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. So, will you put away your efforts, and rest in the one who has finished the job, and allow him to live through you? Amen.

To God be the glory

Scott
