Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

A Completed Sacrifice

He shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted on his behalf 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?

"My faith doth lay her hand

On that dear head of Thine,

   While like a penitent I stand
And there confess my sin."

     If a bullock could be accepted to make atonement, how much more shall the Lord Jesus be our full and all-sufficient propitiation? Jesus is accepted for us to make atonement for us, and we are "accepted in the Beloved."

     Let the reader lay his hand at once on the Lord's completed sacrifice, that by accepting it he may obtain the benefit of it. Jesus is yours now it you will have Him. Lean on Him."
