(Deuteronomy 27:5-6 ESV)
...you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it.
(Exodus 20:25 ESV)
…the altar…the God-ordained place of sacrifice…
…Jesus' cross…the final altar…
...His body, His blood, His life, violently and voluntarily given…the final, and only efficacious sacrifice…once…for all...
…I cannot improve on Jesus as my means of, and place of, approach to God…not only can I not improve on Jesus, but, when I attempt to alter or modify or re-form any aspect of the perfect provision God has provided in Him, I can only profane it.
What presumptuously sinful foolishness to ever even consider taking hammer and chisel to the perfect Rock of my salvation...
