3. Before war kings offered sacrifice, upon the acceptance of which they
depended for success; our blessed Lord presented himself as a victim, and was a
sweet savor to the Most High, and then he met and routed the embattled legions
of hell. Still his burnt sacrifice perfumes the courts of heaven, and through
him the offerings of his people are received as his sacrifices and
oblations. We ought in our spiritual conflicts to have an eye to the sacrifice
of Jesus, and never venture to war until first the Lord has given us a token
for good at the altar of the cross. Selah. It is well to pause at the
cross before we march on to battle. We are too much in a hurry to make good
haste. Rest awhile, meditate on the burnt sacrifice, and put your heart right
for the stem work which lies before you.
