Thought for Today: Tuesday June 06:

It is significant that after giving the Commandments, is the story of the building of the sacrificial altar. The Ten Commandments were given first but the Law and the altar go together. The Law reveal that we are sinners and that we need forgiveness. But the Law also reveals that the only path to forgiveness is through sacrifice. The Law enable us to see ourselves as morally dirty and in need of cleansing. It also points us to the place of cleansing --- the Cross of Moshiach.
