Accepted

It will be on Aaron's forehead so that Aaron may bear the guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate as all their holy gifts. It is always to be on his forehead, so that they may find acceptance with the LORD. - Exodus 28:38

When God gave Moses instructions on how the high priest was to be clothed, He included a gold plate to be worn upon his forehead. Upon the plate was engraved, "Holy to the LORD." It defined the position of the high priest as the representative of the entire Israelite nation and gave him the ability to present blood sacrifices on their behalf. The high priest was the only person on earth able to stand before God and perform this service.

Jesus Christ, our Savior, was set apart in eternity past to bear our guilt before the Father. The striking difference was that at the appropriate moment in time, He became our sacrifice. And, as it was with the high priest and the nation of Israel, our acceptance before the Father remains completely wrapped up in His.

Thankfully and gloriously, the Father has accepted the sacrifice of His Son. It only remains for you to believe.

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation. - Andrew Murray
