There is a story of a father who wanted to take his son for a ride in his Cadilac. The father said the son could only ride under certain conditions. He had to clean and clothed properly according to his standards as the father and owner of the car. So the father gets the son ready, clean and clothed exactly right based on his estimate of how the son should look and be.
This is what God has done for us with Jesus at the cross. He knew we could not meet His standards but He desired to be with us always instead of separated by His holy rules and regulations. God met His own standards by giving us His son to take our place of indignation and judgement so that we could take His place of righteousness. With His sacrifice we are now seated with Him in heavenly places. And as Jesus is so are we.
