"The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls, for it is the blood tat maketh an atonement for the soul.... Ye shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord" (Leviticus 17:11, 18:5).
According to Leviticus,
The life is in the blood.
Atonement is imparted thus
To reconcile with God.
Yet in Leviticus we see
This option God will give:
Just keep His Law entirely,
And you shall surely live.
The way is plain in option one;
Not so in option two:
For in the blood the work is done
That Law demands we do.
How clearly we can hear God's voice
Extolling option one!
Leviticus displays that choice
Of life in God the Son.
For blood that has been sacrificed
Imparting life to us,
Was thus foreseen in Jesus Christ,
Here in Leviticus.
