Unclean, sinner, sick and sore, half gone, bloodied and scared, scrubbed but still stained and all gone with no hope.
Ever feel that way? I have
many times. I can remember once I
was neck deep in it. My dad took
me way out into the hills of east Tennessee to see an old country judge. I was guilty to Hell, but my dad’s
reputation was able to make atonement for me. I guess if you count all our sins and shame we are, and
always are, guilty to Hell. Three
great additions to the law this morning are scapegoats to bear all our sins and guilt, atonement
that creates us forgiven and freed birds that fly away our uncleanliness. These are the most beautiful set of
truths ever established. It’ll be
cast in God’s blood in about 2000 years and our free bird will fly away
forever.
“If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see
But, if I stayed here with you now
Things just couldn’t be the same
Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can’t change…”
Post Script: My wife edited this and struggled with my public use of the word Hell. If you read Leviticus it is intense. Death is common and blood flows like a river. But what really provoked me was how the writer depicts the grave nature of sins consequence. There's two choices, death or Hell. Blood was demanded and blood was always paid!!!
