You are Covered
Leviticus 1:4
4 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.
The practice of the Old Testament is a shadow of what
we have in Jesus Christ now. Jesus has it for you and I once and for all
(Hebrews 10:10-12).
When an offerer of a burnt offering or a sin offering
lays his/her hand on the animal, the spotless and unblemished nature of the
animal is transferred to the offerer but for just a short time. Jesus in the
same way went to the cross on our behalf and covered us all.
Our faith in Jesus has activated this coverage hence
we are accepted by God. Jesus made us joint heir with him unto the father. So
as Jesus is unto Jehovah so are we unto God because he looks not directly on us
but through Jesus (who is our Mediator) on us.
