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.
“What great provision God has made
In Jesus’ death on Calvary!
I hung with Him upon the tree,
And in His tomb I too was laid.
I rose with Him from out the grave—
And how shall 1 who died to sin,
Continue still to live therein,
The victor living as the slave?
At God’s right hand He took His place,
And while for saints my Saviour pleads,
My heart for sinners intercedes
That they might know His saving grace.
Oh, what a name to me is given—
A son of God, by second birth!
I represent Him on the earth,
He represents me now In Heaven.
As Jesus dwells beyond the skies,
I dwell within this world of strife;
And as He lives within my life.
In Him I’m in the heavenlies!”
—Barbara E. Cornet.
