The earthly sanctuary services were appointed of God to help man know and understand exactly what God was willing to do for him. Every animal slain by the hand of the sinner was to be a miniature Calvary. It was to reveal to man the deep-seated enmity he held against God, but in the same instant to prove to him that God held nothing back, not even His Son, if by any means He could bring man to see his rebellion. It was in this way that God prepared the catalyst to break the proud and stubborn heart of man. Nothing less than “blood” could wash away such an awful sin as his, i.e., the will to kill God.

So I go to a different church one Sat. to watch my daughter sing, after church let out I find that a car has blocked me in. I am livid, I begin mumbling insults under my breath about how I wish that person was outside right now so I could give them a piece of my mind...and foot and arm and any other body part I could spare. I thought to myself  "I'll write a note and leave it on the windshield". My daughter, now over my shoulder, was waiting to see me in action. But as I put the pen to the paper the strangest thing happened, I began to write, "Happy Sabbath", I jumped so hard, "what is that" my daughter asked, "I...I don't know" I replied, I tried again, "How wonderful it is to be in the House of the Lord, WHAT!!". The more I wrote, the more love poured out, everything I put down had nothing to do with what I wanted to say. "I think I'm having a Jonah moment", Gaby laughed and laughed, I stared blankly at this lovely letter, "might as well put up now". To God be all honor and glory, it is great to know we have a Savior that shows up on time to save us... even from ourselves.
