2 Kings 18:1-37; Jeremiah 51:25-64; 1 Timothy 2:1-15
He shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Leviticus 1:4
Reverence for God is not put on and off at will. When it is real, there will be constant obedience and submission to God. This commitment is demonstrated by giving God the best I have. Then my worship will be in spirit and truth. The heart of the one who brought the perfect sweet-savour sacrifice in appreciation of God’s grace was to be filled with gratitude, and God then would be glorified. —G. C. G.
And when I think that God His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin. —Carl Boberg
