Without Israel #6: The Day of Atonement
The sacrificial system in the Old Testament, particularly the rituals performed on the Day of Atonement, served as a foreshadowing of the ultimate atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We explore how the intricate rituals and symbolism of the sacrificial system pointed towards the need for substitutionary sacrifice and the removal of guilt and shame. We will look at the parallel between the sacrifices in the Old Testament and Christ's sacrifice on the cross, highlighting how Christ, as the innocent Lamb of God, bore the sins of humanity and provided cleansing and forgiveness. We also will delve into the importance of the proper attitude and response from individuals, emphasizing humility, repentance, and faith in Christ as the basis for receiving the benefits of Christ's atoning sacrifice.
