Then 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. Leviticus 1:4

Can you 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? Friends, that actually is your reality today because Jesus became your burnt offering at the cross.

In the case of the burnt offering, when the offeror 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.

Looking at the word “ACCEPTED” in the Hebrew 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 actually your 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 along with the entire body of TFC covered in all the value and perfection of the work of Your Son.

What Jesus is to You, I AM. Who Jesus is to You, I AM. “As He is now, SO AM I. I AM IN HIM” (1 John 4:17). Know for a certainty that 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 for it lady, 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.” Friends, we are in a wonderful position regarding our relationship with the Father because we ARE IN CHRIST. PTL
