Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, January 14 (1:3)
“He shall offer it that he may be accepted” Lev. 1:3 (margin).
THE burnt offering typified Christ offering Himself without spot unto God for us, in ourselves so sinful and unworthy, but seen, by the Father, as complete in Him, “He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.” So in faith we identify ourselves with the Offering, placing the hand of faith upon the head of Him who took our place, and in holy confidence we dare to believe that “as He is, so are we in this world.” And so we bring to God our worship and thanksgiving all in the name of that worthy One who is the delight of the Father’s heart and in whom we stand faultless in the presence of His glory.
