Joshua built an altar to God and then told God how cool he was by giving sacrifices. I think we should all build an altar to our incredible God. Now there is a small problem with my suggestion. I’m not sure how those guys around you will act, when you start building an altar out of bricks and stones that you find lying around the place. And I am pretty sure they will flip their lid, when they see you start a fire and sling a sheep onto the burning coals. Either they will think you have lost the plot or that you have a sudden craving for a BBQ. Thankfully the guys at college don’t have to see you as a nutter, with an unhealthy interest in outdoor cooking. When the Bible talks about Jesus being the Lamb of God, that’s what it is talking about. Jesus was the final sacrifice to God, he was the ultimate sacrifice to our awesome God. No, when we build an altar to show our God how incredible he is, our altar, is the way we live our lives. Your sacrifice to your God, is the way you treat the nerd at school. Your sacrifice to your God is the way you befriend the elderly neighbour who can’t get to the shops for themselves. Your sacrifice to your God is the way you live your life. That’s the altar to your God.
