Leviticus 1:4 4Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
Imagine the perfection of Jesus covering you from head to toe
in the sight of God every moment of the day. Does that sound
like a dream? My friend, that is your reality today because
Jesus became your burnt offering at the cross.
In the case of the burnt offering, when the offerer lays his
hand on the animal sacrifice (Leviticus 1:3–4), the perfection
and beauty of the unblemished sacrifice is transferred to him,
and God sees and accepts him in the perfection of the animal.
In Hebrew, the word “accepted” implies being treated with
favor, delight and acceptance. This means that you, for whom
Jesus became a burnt offering, are treated by God with favor,
delight and acceptance because the beauty and perfection of
Jesus have been transferred to you. As your burnt offering,
Jesus has made atonement for you on your behalf.
Jesus is your atonement or covering for sin. How precious
Jesus is to the Father is how precious you are to the Father
because when the Father sees you, He sees Jesus, your
atonement, your covering.
So every day, take Jesus as your burnt offering. Come to God
and say, “Father, I thank You that Jesus is my burnt offering.
He covers me from head to toe with His righteousness. I thank
you Father, that You see me without spot or wrinkle. You see
me covered in all the value and perfection of the work of Your
Son. What He is to You, I am. Who He is to You, I am. As He is
now, so am I. I am in Him!” (1 John 4:17)
Jesus has you covered. You don’t appear before the Father
with all your faults and shortcomings. Jesus proclaims to you
what is right with you in spite of what is wrong with you
because He has covered you with His perfection. Today, hear
Him telling you, “Go, girl! I have you covered. There is
nothing for you to worry about!” Hear Him saying to you, “Go
for it, son! I am covering you. There is nothing for you to
fear!”
