Leviticus 3:1-17; Psalm 102:1-28; Acts 26:1-18
He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. Lamentations 3:29
The body that our Lord took upon Himself was like ours, yet without sin. As we are made of dust, likewise He took part of the same that He might taste death for every man. The psalmist speaks of Christ’s experience as being brought into the dust of death. Had He not put His mouth in the dust, we would be as all unbelievers: without God and without hope. His death in His perfectly prepared body has perfectly and eternally changed everything! —Rick Morse
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood.
Sealed my pardon with His blood,
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!—Philip P. Bliss
