learning to love the law

I am learning to love the Law. Christ came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. To complete it. He promised that not a dot or iota will pass from it until all is accomplished (Matthew 5:17-18) By knowing the law, we are able to know Christ because we see all that he fulfilled. So as we look at the painstakingly detailed descriptions of sacrafices needed for sin, we may be awed at all that the lord fulfilled by us. He is both the lamb and the high priest that atones for sin. So we are invited to joyfully study the book of Leviticus to know our Savior more. It points to him as much as any book in the bible, because there is no part of it that he did not accomplish on the cross. I cannot bear my own iniquity Leviticus requires me to bear. Leviticus 5:7 explains the necessity for those who cannot afford a lamb. I am among those who cannot afford a lamb. I am among those who cannot afford two turtledoves. The Lord is gracious. He provides for us when we cannot afford the sacrafice. He said, if they cannot afford two turtledoves, they can bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour. But lord, what if I cannot afford that? What if I have nothing at all to bring as an offering, to make atonement for my own sin? This is the palce we find ourselves in. He says, I will bring something better than grain, better than a lamb. They were a temporary atonement, but God allowed for a single Lamb once and for all, that would cover all sin for all people. Not a lamb, but his very son. Who became our lamb.
