day no. 14,377: God's rock

Exodus 20:25
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it.

The only ingredient man brings to his salvation is the sin that makes his salvation necessary. To add anything else is to subtract. To use our skill or will in bringing a sacrifice is to corrupt the very purity we need offered on our behalf. Stones hewn by God's hand are the foundation upon which acceptable sacrifice is received. There is only one foundation, one Rock, the one mediator between God and man, the God man, Jesus Christ!
