The name of the message today
is, The One Accepted Sin Offering. The One Accepted Sin Offering. This message came about, Brother
Norm texted me, and we were texting back and forth, and he asked
me, he said, have you looked at this verse in Leviticus chapter
4? And I said, no, I looked at it,
and I'm going to have to preach that, brother. So, turn if you
would to Leviticus chapter 4. Leviticus chapter 4. We'll be reading verses 1-12.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning
things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any
of them, If the priest that is anointed do sin according to
the sin of the people, let him bring for his sin, which he hath
sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin
offering. And he shall bring the bullock
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the
Lord. And he shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head and kill
the bullock before the Lord. And the priest that is anointed
shall take of the Bullock's blood and bring it to the tabernacle
of the congregation. And the priest shall dip his
finger in the blood and sprinkle the blood seven times before
the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary. And the priest
shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet
incense before the Lord, which is the tabernacle of the congregation.
and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom
of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. And he shall take off from it
all the fat of the bullock for the sin offerings, the fat that
covereth the innards, and all the fat that is upon the innards, and the two kidneys, and the
fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the call
above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. As it
was taken off from the bullock with the sacrifice of peace offerings,
and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering,
and the skin of the bullock, with all his flesh, with his
head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, even
the whole bullock should he carry forth without the camp, unto
a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him
on the wood with fire, where the ashes are poured out, shall
he be burnt." So may we consider today how our blessed Lord was
made sin for us by imputation, that our sins were imputed to
the Lord Jesus Christ, and how that He alone, He alone, is the
one offering for sin. Here in our text we see picture
in type of the Lord Jesus Christ who died again, the sinner's
substitute, the one sin offering, the one sin offering that the
holy righteous God of the universe will accept. He alone is the
one sacrifice that God will accept. Note now the personal character
of the Lord and how he how it's bought forth in the victim which
is chosen. Look at verse three. If the priest
that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people, let
him bring for his sin which he has sinned, a young bullock,
without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering. The one chosen
is a bullock. One of the most valuable of the
sacrifices. One of the most valuable of the
sacrifices. It's an animal that's, it labors a lot for the owner. It's very valuable. And it's costly in debt. And
it's a young bullock in the fullness of its strength and energy. In
the fullness of its strength and energy. And note that it
also must be without blemish. The slightest fault, the slightest
fault in the sacrifice will disqualify it to be placed upon the altar
of God. The slightest blemish, the slightest
fault will disqualify it. It must be without blemish. It's to be perfect and spotless. If it had one blemish, just one,
it's disqualified. And our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus
Christ, is the perfect, spotless Lamb of God without blemish. God incarnate in the flesh. He is more precious than ten
thousands of the fat of fed beefs. He's a sacrifice that could never
be purchased and never be earned. Never could the value of his
sacrifice be measured with all the gold and with all the silver
in this world. Never. He's precious and priceless. He's the perfect, spotless lamb
of God. And he died. When he died, he
was full of strength in the very prime of his manhood. In the
very prime of his manhood, he offered himself up for what?
For the sins of his people. The perfect, spotless lamb of
God. And when he died, he did not
die through weakness. But he willingly gave up his
life. He willingly gave up his life. Turn, if you would, to
Luke chapter 23. Luke chapter 23. At his death,
he cried with a loud voice. He cried with a loud voice. And
this proved that life was still strong within him. And we know
scripture declares that he gave up the ghost. He willingly died for his people. Look at Luke 23, verses 44 to
47. And it was about the sixth hour,
and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth
hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was
rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried with
a loud voice, there was strength within him. He said, Father, into thy hands
I commend my spirit. And having said this, he gave
up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what
was done, he glorified God saying, certainly this was a righteous
man. His death was voluntary. And he was as the bullock, full
of strength and spotless. For he hath made him to be sin
for us who knew no sin. spotless, perfect, without blemish,
that we might be made the righteousness of God. Second Corinthians 521,
the sins of all the elect of all the ages were placed upon
Christ, imputed to Him, and He paid the price that God demanded.
The perfect, spotless, Lamb of God. And our Redeemer, Again, he was
full of strength, offering himself up for the sins of his people. What a savior. He was born sinless,
he lived a sinless life, and he died sinless when he offered
himself up without spot and blemish. And death could not hold him
because he was raised for our justification. Death could not
hold him. What a Savior, what a Redeemer.
Turn, if you would, to Hebrews chapter 9. Hebrews chapter 9.
He was raised from the grave for the justification of his
people. Hebrews chapter 9. Put your finger also on Romans
chapter 8. Romans chapter 8, if you could. Hebrews chapter 9. Romans chapter
8. He was raised for our justification.
Hebrews 9, verses 11-15, But Christ, being common high priest
of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building,
neither by the blood of goats and calves, now we know from
our study that all those Old Testament sacrifices could not
take away sin. All those Old Testament sacrifices
couldn't take away one sin, but they were pointing the One who
would take away the sins of His people. They were pointing right
to Him, right to Him. They were types and shadows.
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood
He entered in once into the holy place, having attained eternal
redemption for us. The spotless Lamb of God without
blemish obtains eternal salvation for His people. How much more
shall the, or for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes
and heifer and sprinkling the unclean sanctified to the purifying
of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal spirit offered himself up, look at this, without spot.
He offered himself up at the Calvary's cross for the sins
of his people, and he was just like that bullock, without blemish,
without spot. Without spot. purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God and for this cause
he is the mediator of the New Testament that by means of death
for the redemption of the transgression that were under the First Testament
They which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. What a Redeemer. What a Savior
is Jesus Christ our Lord. Then turn to Romans chapter 8.
I mentioned this in Sunday School at the end of the Sunday School
message, but look at this wonderful portion of Scripture. Romans
chapter 8. Now we know Romans chapter 7
is the The autobiography of the believer, like Brother Donny
Bell calls it that, it's a picture of the believer struggling through
life after the Lord saved him. Oh, wretched man that I am. We
struggle with sin all the time. All the time. But look at the
marvelous mountaintop of Romans chapter 8, starting in verse
1, and we'll read the verse 4. There is therefore now no condemnation.
That means there is no judgment. The believer will never be judged,
because their sins were judged at Calvary's cross. in Christ. There is therefore now no condemnation
in the Greek judgment to them which are in Christ Jesus, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. That is good
news for sinners. That's wonderful. For the law
of the spirit of life in Christ had made me free. Oh, we're free
from the law of sin and death for what the law could not do
and that it was weak through the flesh. God send in his own
son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin
in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled
in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. Wonderful
news, wonderful news. Let's go back to Leviticus if
we could. Our Lord Jesus Christ, God incarnate in the flesh, he
was without spot and without blemish. He was born of a woman,
without sin, without fault, the perfect, spotless Lamb of God.
and he offered himself up as a sacrifice for his people. There's
no love that even comes close to this. None. So let us consider
the act of transference of sin to the victim. Look at Leviticus
4, verses 3 and 4. If the priest that is anointed
do sin according to the sin of the people, then let him bring
for his sin which he has sinned a young bollock without blemish
unto the Lord for a sin offering. And he shall bring the bollock
into the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the
Lord and shall lay his hand upon the bollock's head and kill the
bollock before the Lord." Now this laying on of the hand is
not a mere touch of contact. It's not just a mean, like when
we put our hand on someone's shoulder, it's not that. In another portion of this, this
Hebrew word for leaning means to lean heavily. Lean heavily. When they put their hand on,
they lean heavily. Psalm 88, 7 says, Thy wrath lieth
hard upon me. Same Hebrew, hard upon me. Thou hast afflicted me with all
thy waves sealing. So the Hebrew word has a meaning
of leaning heavily. And think of this in light of
our Savior. In light of our faith in our
great God and King, we lean hard on Him. We lean hard on Him. We lean heavily upon Him. For
the forgiveness of all our sins. For all our sins. And our sins
are weighty. And our sins are heavy. And yet
we see by faith our Savior bearing them all. Don't we? And we rest in Him. And we trust in Him. At Calvary's
tree He took the whole weight of all the sins of all His people. And I by faith see that in my
Savior. Do you? He bore it all. Pain. Every single thing that
God demanded for my sin. And our sins are imputed to Christ. To the substitute. And this was
pictured here before us in the laying on of the hand of the
offer upon the bullock at the altar. Well, it was yet alive.
And all these Old Testament sacrifices point right to Christ. Turn,
if you would, the numbers chapter 15. They point right to Christ,
to the mighty work of redemption, which Christ has accomplished
on Calvary's cross. And we who believe have all our
sins forgiven, all of them. Past, present, and yes, future. Isn't that wonderful? That's
wonderful. Someone may ask, well, how can
you say future? Because all my sins were future at Calvary's
cross. When Christ paid for every one of my sins, He paid for all
my sins. I wasn't even born. He paid it
all. Oh, what a Savior, what a Redeemer
is Jesus Christ the Lord. Look at Numbers chapter 15 verses
23 to 26. Even all that the Lord hath commanded
you by the hand of Moses from the day that the Lord commanded
Moses and henceforward among your generations, then it shall
be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge
of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer
one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor unto
the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according
to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
And the priest, now the priest is the one who lays his hand,
and the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation
of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them for
his ignorance. And they shall bring their offering,
a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord." They bring the sacrifice
unto the Lord. Unto the Lord. For their ignorance. And it shall be forgiven all
the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that
sojourneth among them. Seeing all the people were in
ignorance. Now substitution and satisfaction. That's the heart of the gospel.
Substitution and satisfaction. Christ was my substitute and
God is satisfied. It fills the believer's heart
with joy. With joy. He paid it all. The spotless Lamb of God has
paid everything that God has demanded for His people at Calvary's
cross. And this is pictured in the sacrifice
of the bullock. Now we know that the work is
finished, isn't it? That's something that we rejoice
in as believers. The work of salvation is finished. We rest
and repose in a finished work done by our Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ. And you know when the Lord cried,
it is finished, I looked up the Greek meaning for that. And it
means this, to bring to a close. To bring to a close. To finish. To end. Salvation is of the Lord. It's all His planning. It's all
His doing. He executed it. And then he makes
us willing, doesn't he? The Holy Spirit regenerates us,
and we are made, the unwilling are made willing to flee to Christ.
And we run to him. We run to him. What a Savior. And we rest and trust in he,
Christ, who finished the work. We rest and repose in our wonderful,
merciful Savior, in his work. And he alone accomplished salvation
for his covenant people, his elect. Now let us consider what's
pictured here. Look at verse two in our text.
The type of sins which this offering was for, sin of ignorance. Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, if a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the
commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be
done, and shall do against any of them. So the Jews knew nothing
about a sin offering for sins of presumption. But there is
such a sin offering for us. There's a sin offering for presumption
for us. Turn, if you would, to John 1.
John 1. And we know from our studies
that the Pharisees, that the Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed
to the Pharisees that they were not his sheep. Remember that
in John 10? He said, you're not my sheep. You're not them. And salvation is not about heritage
or birth. Right? Or any form of works in
a man or a woman. Salvation is in Christ alone
by the will of God alone. Look at John 1, verses 1-13. Look at this. He came unto his
own, and his own received him not. But as many as received
him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God. They
were made willing. They were made willing. John
1, verses 11-13. He came unto his own, and his
own received him not. But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name, which were born not of blood. So it's not because they were
born Jews, nor the will of the flesh. Man's not saved by his
will. nor the will of man, but of God. But of God. God makes the unwilling
willing to come to Christ. And it's a miracle of grace. It's a miracle of grace. And
it's absolutely stunning to the believer. And then we spend a
lifetime rejoicing that he made us with him. And let we who are redeemed rejoice
in this fact that we have a sin offering, even for our presumptuous
sins. And they were all laid on Christ,
even for our sins of ignorance. They were all laid on Christ.
Sins of our will, sins against light and knowledge. They are
all pardoned by the precious blood of Christ. All. All. So let us reflect here on
the mention of sins of ignorance. What a comfort for the believer.
What a comfort for the believer. All my sins of ignorance, the
ones I didn't even know I did. I forgive. I forgive. Because either Christ paid for
all my sins. Or some. But we know when he
cried, it's finished, it's done. Praise God, he paid for all our
sins. And God beholds our sin, and
he sees our sins and what they are, dreadful, exceedingly sinful. But praise be to God, the Lord
Jesus Christ has put away the sins of his people. He's put
them away. And now let us consider that
the sacrifices before the Lord. Look at verses three and four. If the priest that is anointed
do sin according to the sin of the people, then let him bring
forth for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without
blemish, unto the Lord for a sin offering. And he shall bring
the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord, and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head,
and kill the bullock before the Lord. When Christ offered himself
up for the sins of his people, He offered himself up before
the Lord. Before the Lord. Notice the expression in verse
four, before the Lord. Bring unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation before the Lord. Kill the bullock before
the Lord. Verse six, sprinkle the blood
of seven times before the Lord. Before the Lord. The blood is
to be applied to the horns of the altars before the Lord. And
the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the
altar of sweet incense before the Lord. And notice verse three,
the bullock without blemishes to be bought unto the Lord. Unto
the Lord for a sin offering. And let us remember this, that
apart from the blood of Christ, we are guilty. guilty, apart
from the blood of Christ, condemned, but washed in the blood of Christ
where you are accepted and safe, accepted and safe. So the importance
of the sacrifice is that it is done before the Lord, because
who have we offended? The Lord, we broke his law. His justice has a claim upon
us. So Christ offers himself up as the sinner's substitute
for his people before the Lord. Before the Lord. And what a marvelous thing for
the believer to think that all my sins, including my sins of
ignorance, were laid upon the substitute and that he put them
all away. He put them all away. by his
atonement, by the shedding of his precious blood. And we know
that God is satisfied with that because, again, he's raised for
our justification. He's raised for our justification.
What a savior. What a redeemer. Now, let us
consider the. The efficacy of the precious
blood of Jesus Christ. As soon as the book was slain,
the blood of the sin offering was sprinkled, was sprinkled. And this is to show our communion
with God is by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look at verses
4 to 7. And he shall bring the bullock
into the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the
Lord, and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head and kill
the bullock before the Lord. And the priest that is anointed
shall take the bullock's blood and bring it to the tabernacle
of the congregation. And the priest shall dip his
finger in the blood and sprinkle the blood seven times before
the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary. And the priest
shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet
incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation. And shall pour all the blood
of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." So after
slaying the bullock, the priest is to bring the blood, is to
bring the blood of the bullock to the tabernacle of the congregation.
And then the priest dips his finger, and they said of his
right hand, He dips his finger and then he sprinkles the blood
seven times before the Lord, seven times before the Lord,
before the veil, the sanctuary. And it's the right hand. If it's
done with the left. It's done wrong. And it's presented
before the Lord. Now, again, let us have our eyes
towards Christ. who this pictures. He's not only
the priest, right? He's the priest who's sprinkled
on the blood, but he's also the sacrifice. Because he's our prophet,
priest, and king, isn't he? My. And notice it's seven times,
this being the number of perfection. The number of perfection. Some
say that the number of seven, some commentators say that this
denotes perfection. perfection, completion, fullness. And this, again, is a picture
of Christ, the perfect man, the spotless Lamb of God. And it's
His blood which is shed. Turn, if you would, to Hebrews
chapter 10. It's His blood which is shed for the pardon of all
our sins. And again, it is presented before
the Lord, before the Lord. sprinkled on the conscience of
his people. And it speaks peace for the believer. Peace. And
it perfectly cleanses us from all our sins, all of them. Look
at Hebrews chapter 10, verses 19 to 22. Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new
and living way, which he hath consecrated for us through the
veil, that is to say his flesh. In heaven, a high priest over
the house of God. Let us draw near with a true
heart and full assurance of faith. Heaven, our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
What peace the believer has in Christ, in Christ. Now the golden
altar of incense was adorned with four horns, with four horns. And the priest, dipping his finger
into the basin, smeared the horns until the four horns glowed crimson
in the light of the golden candlestick. Let's go back to our text in
Leviticus chapter 4. And the horn is always indicative
of strength and power. And what strength and power Christ
the God-man had, and still has. And let us by faith look and
see our great anointed priest as he applies the blood to the
horns of the altar. And it's his own precious blood.
It's his own precious blood. And the sweet perfume. Remember,
it's offered before the Lord, right? The sweet perfume. A frankincense, one commentator
says, ascends to heaven and God accepts the sacrifice for the
sins of his people. The sacrifice of Christ. Note
in the latter part of verse seven, and he shall pour all the blood
of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. There stands
the altar where the burnt offering was offered. It's consumed and
the priest heaven The basin full of blood, as only a small quantity
had been used in the sprinkling of the veil and touching the
horns of the golden altar, now pours all the remaining blood
in the great stream at the bottom of the foot of the altar of burnt
offering. What does this typify? Well,
this teaches us that the only ground and basis for the believer,
the only acceptance before God for the believer, is through
Christ and His precious blood. The blood of Christ puts away
the sins of His people. He redeems us with His own precious
blood. And we are pardoned and forgiven
in Christ. A people purchased. Purchased. You're bought with a price. You're
bought with a price. Purchased by the blood of Christ.
And it is His blood that puts away our sin. For the sins of
those whom He died for. Now, who did He die for? Turn,
if you would, to John chapter 10. John chapter 10. Whom did
He die for? All those sheep which were given
to Him of the Father. And think of this. When the sacrifices
were made for Israel, who were they made for? Were they made
for the Egyptians? Or the Hittites? Or any of the other nations?
No. They were only for the Israelites. which is a picture of Christ
dying for his sheep, dying for his elect. What a savior, what
a redeemer is Jesus Christ the Lord. Look at John chapter 10.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep. As the father knoweth me, even
so know I the father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. He
lays down his life for the sheep. Now here's the question. How
long have you been, you who believe, been the sheep of God? From all
eternity. Turn, if you would, to Ephesians
chapter 1. This is marvelous. This is precious, wonderful truth
for the believer. From all eternity. And it's based
on absolutely nothing in us. Nothing in us. God didn't look
down through time and see who would choose him because We're
all sinners. We're all sinners. God Himself
chose a people. And He redeemed, Christ Himself
redeemed those people at Calvary's Cross. And the Holy Spirit regenerates
us. And we are safe in Christ. Safe
in Christ. Look at this, look at this wonderful
portion. And we'll see the election of
God was all based upon God's choice. And this is what the
scriptures plainly declare. And what does this do? What does
this do when we see this? And knowing that when the priest
offered that sacrifice, right, he was offering it for the congregation
of Israel, right? And so what does this do for
us who are believers? When we come to the knowledge,
when Christ reveals himself to us, showing us that he died for
his people, that he died for me. And then we learn that he
chose us in eternity. What does that do for us? That
brings us right down into the dust, doesn't it? It humbles
the pride of man. And not only does it humble the
pride of man, what does it also do? It exalts the sovereignty
of God. God is God. Brother, we were talking, he
never would've, We never desired him before the Lord saved us. We never desired him. We never
sought him out. But he seeks out his sheep. And
it's wonderful. Look at this wonderful portion of scripture.
And again, it magnifies the sovereignty of God and humbles the pride
of man. Because God's sheep, his people
will be granted faith and repentance to believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ. Look at this Ephesians chapter one. Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. So all spiritual
blessings are only in Christ. They're nowhere else. Nowhere
else can you find all the justification, redemption, these precious sanctification. They're all in Christ, all of
them. According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world. God's people are chosen in Christ
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy
and without blame before Him in love, clothed in His perfect
spotless righteousness, having predestinated us unto the adoption
of children by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good
pleasure of His will. God does whatever He pleases.
It's marvelous, isn't it? It's wonderful. Because again,
we never would have chosen. We never would have come to Him.
But He makes His people willing, and He saves His people from
their sins. And it's absolutely wonderful.
And look at this, to the praise of the glory of His grace. Wherein
He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. We are accepted in Christ,
in Christ alone. By His work. By what He's done. In whom we have redemption. We
looked at that last week in Sunday School. Redemption. He's purchased
us through His blood. The forgiveness of sins. How
many sins? All of them. We were talking about that the
other day. All of them. It's wonderful. The forgiveness of
sins. It's absolutely wonderful. According
to the riches of His grace. According to the riches of His
grace. Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according
to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in himself. He planned
it, he purposed it, and he executed it. It's wonderful. Salvation
is of the Lord. That in the dispensation of the
fullness of times, he might gather together in one, that's the body
of Christ, in Christ, all things in Christ, both which are in
heaven and which are on earth, even in him, in whom also we
have obtained an inheritance. being predestinated according
to the purpose of Him who worketh all things, again, after the
counsel of His own will. He's God. He can do whatever
He pleases. And if you are saved, rejoice, because you're saved
according to God's will. And you have found what we looked
at this morning in Sunday School. The only reason we're saved is
because just like Noah, we found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
It's wonderful. It humbles us so much. It brings
us so low. And it exalts our God so high,
so high. It's wonderful. Salvation is
of the Lord, of the Lord. And then look at verse 12, that
we should be to the praise of His glory who first trusted in
Christ. God's saints are monuments to
the grace of God, to the grace of God. And it's absolutely wonderful. So in that bullock who was sacrificed,
We have a picture. We have a picture of Christ dying
for the sins of his people. My. It's wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful. He
who knew no sin was made sin for us that we might be made
the righteousness of God. Our sins were imputed to Christ. And he willingly. Died. As our substitute. Isn't that
wonderful news for sinners? It's wonderful because we know.
Could you or I pay for one sin? Just one. No. Christ paid for all the sins.
Oh, what a savior, what a redeemer. And then think of this, the sins
of the elect of God were imputed to Christ and he paid it all. He paid it all. And his sacrifice
is a sweet smelling savor to God. We just rest in Him. Oh, we just
rest in Him. Now our prayer is if you do not
know the Savior, our prayer is that God would grant you faith
and belief upon Him. That you would rest and trust
in Him. Oh, what a Savior. And we've
seen Him pictured today. We've seen Him pictured today.
What a Savior is Jesus Christ the Lord. Gracious Heavenly Father, We come before thee with praise
and thanksgiving, seeing today that in the Old Testament, pictures
of Christ, pictures of your sacrifice, Lord Jesus, for the sins of your
people. And we marvel that you are both
the sacrifice and the priest. Applying thy blood upon the horns
for the sins of your people. What a Savior, what a Redeemer,
Lord. We pray that you would use this
message for your glory. Oh, that you draw your lost sheep
to thee, and that they might come to thee as you reveal yourself
to them. Oh, that they'd be drawn by the Holy Spirit of God and
regenerated. Oh, what a Savior, what a Redeemer
you are. May we praise your name as we leave this place, in Jesus'
name, amen.
