“Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.”
Psalms 43:4 KJV
The altar of God was in the old covenant, the temple in Jerusalem. The nation of Israel acknowledged the Presence of God there. Jesus has made the altar of God, the Cross where He was crucified for all the nations of the world. The finished work of the Cross is our altar today, where we acknowledge that our sin was dealt with the death blow and we received everlasting life. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. The Cross is the altar for us today as we come and receive mercy and grace to receive the resurrection power of God. Let’s come to the Cross with exceeding joy, and praise our living God!
