Sacrificial Savior

Read:  Psalm 102 / Proverbs 21 / Leviticus 7 / Philippians 2

Psalm 102:19-20 From heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;  
Proverbs 21:31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
Leviticus 7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering...  and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
Philippians 2:5,8 Christ Jesus... humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

From heaven's high majestic throne
The Lord looked down from heaven's height. 
He heard the captive's helpless groan
And came to save them from their plight. 

The sacrifices offered up
Depicted Christ our Lord who came
To drink our judgment's bitter cup
When on the cross, He bore our shame.
