Language of God | Episode 6: Altar- Where Love Lays It All Down

Altars appear throughout Scripture but what were they really for?In this episode of The Language of God, we explore the biblical meaning of the altar through the Hebrew word mizbeach (מִזְבֵּחַ) and the Greek thysiasterion (θυσιαστήριον) — words that reveal the altar as a sacred place of sacrifice, covenant, and divine encounter.From the earliest altars in Genesis to the ultimate altar of the cross, we trace how every altar points to Jesus Christ , the final sacrifice and the fulfillment of every covenant.Understanding the altar changes how we understand sacrifice, covenant, and the work of Christ itself.
