A Completed Sacrifice

"And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering: and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him." (Leviticus 1:4)

If by that laying on of his hand the bullock became the offerer's sacrifice, how much more shall Jesus become ours by the laying on of the hand of faith? If a bullock could be accepted for him to make atonement for him, how much more shall the LORD Jesus be our full and all-sufficient propitiation?

Some may argue with the great truth of substitution; but as for us, it is our hope, our joy, our boast, our all. Jesus is accepted for us to make atonement for us, and we are "accepted in the Beloved." Today, lay your hand on the LORD's completed sacrifice, that by accepting it you may obtain the benefit of it. If you have done it before, do it again. If you have never done so, put out your hand now. Jesus is yours now if you will have Him. Lean on Him -- lean hard on Him -- and He is yours without a doubt; you are reconciled to God, your sins are blotted out, and you are the LORD's.
