Lazaroo – Saturday, September 19, 2009
Sep 19, 2009 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with laser-focused intensity:
“He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.”
(Leviticus 1:11)
You mention blood hundreds of times in the Bible, LORD.
Why is it so important to You?
In school they taught me
that my heart pumps blood through miles and miles of vessels to every part of my body
that it carries nutrients, hormones and minerals to my body’s organs and cells
that these ten pints of blood help me fight off sickness and disease.
My blood is my life.
Is that why the blood of all those animals had to be sprinkled against Your altar?
Is that why You had to shed Your blood on the cross, Jesus?
Because blood is as serious
as the sins I have committed against You?
