The altar is the place of sacrifice acceptable unto God. The Calvary cross was not just a cross but the altar for sacrifice. The blood in the vein of the sacrifice (cattle, goat, sheep, pigeon etc) is not acceptable on the altar, until it flows out; it is then considered efficacious. Salvation came at the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ at the altar (the cross).

The value of ‘life’ is the measure of the value of the blood. This gives the blood of Jesus Christ the inconceivable and immeasurable value. At the altar, which is the cross, God, in the form of man gave his life for all men who would believe in Him. Hebrew 10:4 says that it is not possible that the blood of bulls, goats and rams could take away sins.

Leviticus 17:11 reads, ;For the life of the flesh is in the blood ;.” Jesus Christ had given His blood for you upon the altar to make atonement for your soul. It is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. You can imagine what the blood of God, Jesus Christ, did for all of mankind on the altar of the cross at Golgotha. How beautiful it is to remember John 3:16: which reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus Christ as a sacrifice on the altar of the cross), that whosoever believeth in him (Jesus Christ) should not perish but have everlasting life.” John1:12 reads, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe upon his name.”

Dear friend, have you gone to the altar and accepted the atonement by the blood of God, (Jesus Christ), by repenting of your sins? No other blood can atone for your sins. The blood of atonement must be shed and Jesus Christ shed His blood for you. Do you now believe? Time is short and there may not be a tomorrow for you. Today is the day of salvation and now is the acceptable time (2^nd Corinthians 6:2). This world is passing away. Your life is only like a vapor. One day you will face God as your Savior and Lord or as your Judge. Choose Him as your Lord and Savior today!

You can either be with Jesus Christ in the glories of heaven or be satan’s neighbor in the lake of fire. The choice is yours today and now. The clock is ticking and soon time shall be no more. It is very important to think seriously about your soul. Have you gone to the altar? Have you accepted the sacrifice of atonement that Jesus Christ made for you? Time is running out.
