2. THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS.

THE ATONEMENT.

I decided to conduct a personal study on the Atonement by comparing Leviticus with the Book of Hebrews, without relying on a commentary, and allowing the Holy Spirit to bring revelation instead.

I was amazed and elated to see the Atonement’s more profound meaning.
I was elated when I discovered that all my sins had been forgiven and would be forgotten entirely.

This truly means, my PAST- PRESENT and FUTURE SINS.

All because God loved me and sent His Son to pay the price for all my sin by shedding His Precious Blood on the cross of Calvary.

So many Christians live in guilt, deep shame, and fear of punishment due to a lack of understanding of what the Atonement truly means.

So, look closer at the Atonement to find “freedom from condemnation.” In Leviticus 16:1, Priests, after their own cleansing, chose two goats for the ceremony. The first goat they slaughtered was a sin offering for the people.
Leviticus 16:15.

He sprinkled the goat’s blood on the Altar (Mercy seat) to cleanse it and make it holy.

Then he turned toward the live goat, laid both hands upon its head, and confessed the people’s sins, such as ceremonial uncleanness and injustice. This transferred all their sins onto the head of the goat. A man, specifically chosen for the task, would drive the goat into the wilderness of desolation, never to return again. The slain goat was a substitute for the people’s sins; it took their place of punishment.

The other goat was called the “Scapegoat,“ which had “all” of the people’s sins on its head.

A WONDERFUL PICTURE OF THE WORK OF JESUS.

Both goats are types of Jesus. The first goat showed how Christ’s death satisfied God’s justice.

See Isaiah 5:1,11

The second goat reveals how Christ bore the full weight of our guilt and shame.

(Everything the devil uses to accuse us.). Then He carried them away from us, and when Jesus died, HE entered the wilderness of death, returning all the accusations back in the devil’s face!!

Amen! Thank you, Jesus!!

Now you can enjoy God’s complete forgiveness, and you never need to say, I’m too great a sinner for God to save me.

“No, you are not too great a sinner! Don’t live under the heavy weight of guilt and shame.

“AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, HE HAS REMOVED OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US.”

PSALM 1O3:12. Keep this in your mind. Under the old Covenant, people’s sins were “Covered,” which is why the Atonement ceremony was held each year on the Sabbath.
The Atonement of Christ did not just cover our sins…“He took them away!”

Hebrews 10:4.

It was by the shedding of His Blood. (Blood brought life, and not death!)

That is the meaning of the word, Atonement.
Glorious,

“AT- ONE – MENT! “AT ONE WITH GOD!” Through Christ.

The Old Testament is a shadow of Christ and the “REALITY” of Christ in the New Testament. When the single God-Man gave his life, He opened the way to: ”whosoever will” may come! “THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD,
AND MUST FOR SIN ATONE
ON: “SACRIFICE” AND ONCE FOR ALL!
THE BLOOD OF JESUS ALONE.
OH, SEE THE GUILT OF SIN,
WHICH NEEDED SUCH A PRICE!
AND SEE THAT MARVEL, OF HIS LOVE,
WHO MADE THE SACRIFICE!”

J.S. Baxter.

THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST.

As the great High Priest, Jesus took His Blood and entered into the Heavenly Sanctuary, with the blood, and laid it on the Altar. A Perfect Sacrifice!

But He has not yet come the second time for His people. Hebrews 9:24.

At that time, Israel will be a penitent people.
They will weep and say…

“THE HARVEST IS PAST, THE SUMMER HAS ENDED, AND WE ARE NOT SAVED.”

Then they shall look upon Jesus, whom they pierced, and weep!
Then in believing contrition …

THEY SHALL BE SAVED!!

You, dear reader, who need to be saved, must realise that your time to repent of your sins is now!

The way to receive Him is open now!

“NOW! IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME, NOW! IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!”

After Jesus finally arrives, it will be too late.

Please pray this prayer of salvation. Then you will be saved for all eternity.

“LORD JESUS,
I THANK YOU FOR SHEDDING YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR PAYING THE PRICE FOR ALL MY SINS. PLEASE FORGIVE MY SIN AND CLEANSE ME FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. PLEASE FILL ME WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT TO EMPOWER ME TO BECOME COMPLETELY CONFORMED TO YOUR IMAGE.

Amen.

Please let me know if you pray this prayer from my blog, so I can offer a prayer for you.

“GONE, GONE, GONE .. ALL MY SINS ARE GONE !!”

Think about this .. When I talk about sin, I’m not putting sin into categories, as some people do, e.g. Adultery is worse than telling a lie.

“In Christ, God dealt with the ‘Human Sinful Nature, ‘ not specific sins.

This fallen nature was passed upon us from Adam. So when you receive the Atonement of Christ, you receive His Nature, and become a new Creature. (Creation)

The old has passed away, and all things have become new. That is how God sees us in Christ. Yes, the temptation to sin is still there, but when we sin, we repent and confess it to God, and because of the Atonement, we are forgiven.

You may be wondering, “But what if I die in an accident before I get to confess my last sin?

“This is why the Atonement is so exciting,

IT DEALS WITH SIN AS A WHOLE.”

OUR SIN WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED, “ANYMORE”

Amen!
