When Lord made Himself a butcher and a tanner for me

"And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them." Genesis 3:21
When the Lord made skins for Adam and Eve, He made himself the butcher of animals and the tanner of skins to clothe them with earthly garments, This He did, knowing that He would allow them to be His butcher and the tanner of His skin as they would work His flesh and His skin with all the tools and skill of sin.  Then they would stretch Him out on the cross so that He might be made ready for the curing heat of God's wrath and made fit for clothing all mankind with His righteousness.
 Lord how great is mystery of You and Your ways of love and grace for Your fallen creation.
Thanks be to Thee, my Lord and my God.
