For Me

Leviticus 1:4

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 

When the Isrealites gave a sacrifice as a burnt offering for sin, they had to physically place their hands on the animal; in essences they were placing their sin on that animal.  They would then have to actually kill the animal before the priest could offer it as a sacrifice.  WOW!  Today we take sin so casually.  It's almost as if we do all we can to disassociate ourselves from the sin.  How much greater would our awareness of the cost of sin be if we were close enough to place our hands on the Son of God before driving the nails in His hands and feet - transferring our sins to the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world?

Every sin I choose to commit was carried by Christ to the cross, 
yet He chose to stay there for me.
