Morning — March 17 — Leviticus 1:4

He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. — Leviticus 1:4True atonement demands a perfect substitute to absorb the judgment our guilt deserves. Christ alone met that demand, so believers are permanently reconciled to the Father. His acceptance becomes our acceptance, turning guilty offenders into living sacrifices offered in grateful worship.
