The thought of the fire of acceptance was the subject of a sermon I
preached two weeks ago.  Jesus was the offering and yet the fire
fell on the 120.  What God is saying is that Christ's holiness and
acceptance were given to us since we accepted the fact that He died AS us.
He took our sins and gave us His righteousness!  So we are accepted only
in Him!
