Lev.7:7

I've been reading Leviticus and God's really been highlighting the whole message of atonement for sins.  

 Lev. 7:7 says, "the trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it SHALL HAVE IT " 

 Jesus as our High Priest made atonement for us with His own life.. Therefore, as the priest making the atonement He shall HAVE His life!! 

Jesus was given His life, THE SACRIFICE, after it had been offered.  

John 1:13 says that we "were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God".  Therefore, we are now able to have eternal life because He was given life, who we were born of.  We were born of God, who Jesus is One with, so we have the life that Jesus received after He, as our High Priest offered it as the sacrifice in making atonement for our sins.
