Day of Atonement - Jesus as the Scapegoat - Lord's Feasts (pt. 9)

For humanity to be reconciled with God, sin must be atoned for.

God, in his wisdom, provided a ritual in the Day of Atonement ceremony for this exact purpose - to restore the covenantal relationship with his people in service of His plan of redemption.

In addition to a ransom - the goat whose blood is sprinkled on the Mercy Seat - there is also a Scapegoat ceremony.

The scapegoat ceremony offers a concrete ritual to the nation that the past year's sins have been "taken away" on the head of the goat.

Jesus fulfills both the ransom offering and the scapegoat who "takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).

Join us as we explore this holiday and the amazing significance of Jesus' atoning death (Romans 3:25).
