The High and Holy Day of Atonement

Join us for this powerful sermon by guest speaker Pastor David Vistine as he explores the profound meaning of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

What You'll Discover:

In this message, Pastor Vistine takes us on a journey through Leviticus 16, unpacking the rich symbolism of the ancient Day of Atonement and revealing how it all points to Jesus Christ. Learn about:

The Three Key Elements of Atonement:

- The High Priest who entered God's presence once a year
- The Tabernacle and the Holy of Holies
- The two goats - one sacrificed, one sent away as the scapegoat

The Meaning Behind the Rituals:

Discover why the High Priest wore special garments with 12 stones, why a rope was tied around his ankle, and the miraculous sign of the red cord turning white. These ancient practices paint a vivid picture of what Christ accomplished for us.

The Fulfillment in Christ:

See how Jesus became both our sacrifice and our scapegoat, carrying our sins away forever. The crown of thorns, the cry of "away with him," and His death outside the city gates all echo the Day of Atonement ceremonies.

Key Scripture: 

"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be white as wool." - Isaiah 1:18

This sermon will deepen your understanding of Christ's sacrifice and remind you that Jesus paid the debt you couldn't pay. Perfect for anyone wanting to understand the Old Testament roots of salvation and the completeness of Christ's atonement.
