May 13 I Kings 5-7 The Place of Sacrifice

David offered a sacrifice on Mount Moriah - one that cost him something. It was important to David that his sacrifice to God cost him something - a real sacrifice. Solomon built the Temple on that same place. This place would come to symbolize the place where God sacrificed His own Son - a sacrifice that cost Him plenty. Mount Moriah was also the place where Abraham almost sacrificed his son - until the Lord provided a sacrifice of His own.
