The Day of Atonement

In this verse-by-verse teaching of Leviticus 16, we delve into the profound significance of the Day of Atonement. This pivotal Old Testament ceremony offers us a powerful foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice. As we examine the intricate rituals and symbolism, we're reminded of our deep need for forgiveness and God's provision for it. The high priest's role, the sacrificial goats, and the scapegoat all paint a vivid picture of how our sins are both covered and removed. This ancient practice challenges us to consider: How do we approach God's holiness? Do we fully appreciate the magnitude of Christ's atonement? As we reflect on these questions, we're invited to embrace the incredible grace extended to us through Jesus, our perfect High Priest who has made atonement once and for all.
