I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with total transparency:
“If someone’s offering is a fellowship offering, and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he is to present before the LORD an animal without defect. He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood against the altar on all sides.”
(Leviticus 3:1-2)I’m struggling with this, Jesus.
The very idea of taking an innocent animal –
one of my favorites –marching it to Your holy place
laying my hand on its head one last timeand slaughtering it?!!!
then standing there…watching in horror…
while the priests sprinkle its blood against Your altar?!!!No wonder these kinds of sacrifices were detestable to the Egyptians, Father.
I’ve got to admit it: They’re detestable to me.
as detestable as my sin must be to You.
