ALL ON THE ALTAR
Would you like to know what do I mean? I feel like you would like to know what I am talking about, in order to know whether you want to participate or not, right? Well, I feel like I must tell you. You see many times someone thinks I am okay, I do not harm anyone, and I always try to help where the need is, so I’m okay, right. Well, that is not exactly what I mean about all on the Altar. You see when it comes to giving your life to Jesus, one must give Him your all or none, because He is a Holy God and He only works with you when “you want” to be totally committed to Him. Now are you ready for that? You may be thinking, I go to church every Sunday and I participate in many different things around the church, and I help many people and organizations, etc. That is good, but that is not what the Lord wants; He wants YOU. THE LORD WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO WORK FOR HIM.
In Exodus 27: 1-8, we see the structuring of the Brazen Altar as well as in other parts of Scripture. God gave Moses the precise pattern, and depth of the sacrificial offering, which all points to the Body of Jesus who would someday give His Body for our sin, and the Altar is indeed explicitly detailed for us to see what God allowed to happen to His only Begotten Son, because He so loved us – the entire world. Therefore, placing yourself on the Altar means to give up self – yourself totally and completely to live for Jesus. HE IS WORTHY of anything you can do for Him, and it starts with you giving Him your all by asking Him to make you what He would have you to be and do for Him.Tell Him – Lord you are all I have, come and live in me. He will come into your heart, and you will know it. You will be conscious of Him each day; He will chastise you in your spirit, and you will know His chastisement; He is gentle and loving. JESUS LOVES YOU AND ME.
