To make atonement for him

Daily Light Devotions - March 17 - Morning

... To make atonement for him.

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 1

knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 2

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 3

to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 4

you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 5

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 6

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. 7
