God has left us in no doubt as to what the nature of our relationship with Him is founded upon, when He said in Psalm 50:1, “gather my people together those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice”. Sacrifice is central to everything we possess, and all we do. We approach God through the sacrifice of His Son and all business with God is transacted around this holy theme. No other method is acceptable to God.
Every offering pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lives of the patriarchs and Israel revolved around the altar of sacrifice. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Samuel, and David, all these men, under varying circumstances raised altars. They turned times of tragic sorrow, or great joy; of victory or defeat into opportunities for raising an altar. When they sinned or had been overcome they always returned to the altar. These men were always building altars. And so also should we, for we too have an altar.
