Was doing a quiet time last night and was reading Leviticus, hence the title.
    The names of God and Jesus always have a significance that is somewhat lost in our modern days. The Great Physician, the Alpha and Omega, Prince of Peace, Creator, Savior, The Lamb of God. All of these are names that we have heard people call the One who created us or the one who came to save us. But what does the last one mean, the Lamb of God? That is where Leviticus comes in. The worth of the animal to be sacrificed is proportional to the amount of standing or leadership a person had in the community. The priest had to sacrifice a bull and if the community as a whole sinned a bull would be sacrificed as well. For the ordinary Israelite it was a lamb, a pure, blemish free lamb. Christ became that lamb for us as he died upon the cross. The amount of blood that was present in Israel was incredible but that blood could only cover the sins that had already been commited, not those they were going to commit in the days and weeks to come. The blood of Christ which was spilled once for me to cover my sins forever can and do cover the sins of every Israelite and every person that has ever lived and ever will live. He is called Lamb because he came to die for the common man, not just for the leadership or the priviledged, but for everyone. Jesus loves us so much. He gave up His life, the cross could not kill Him, so that we could have victory over death through Him. He had to watch as His Father turned His back on His Son because of our sin, because of my sin.
    So after reading this God said to me 'I have provided a way for you to be with Me' this way is gift to everyone who accepts it. Then He said 'I no longer remember your sins, they are forgotten. Come My son we need to talk, and you need to learn to listen and be patient. When you ask Me for help let me come to your aid, don't rush to get the things you want because I may have something better for you or you might not yet need it or ever have a reason for it again.'

I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3
Thanks Chris Walker for all that you have helped me understand about Christ's love and get through. I can never express how grateful I am for you.

Hasta la Victoria Siempre.
