The Sacrificial Lamb

Yom Kippur was on Saturday this weekend. On the biblical calendar, this is one of the most important days because it was when atonement was made for the nation of Israel (Leviticus 16:1–34).

Leviticus 23:26 says, "And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 'Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering to the Lord...28b to make atonement for you before the Lord you God."

I came across this video that will really grip your emotions and fix your eyes on the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29). You will NEVER read Isaiah 53 the same way again. "Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter" so our Savior was captured and crucified on the cross.

Never forget the cross, nor the Lamb.

    Thanks for sharing that Kyle. We can never show enough gratitude for what God has done for us. But after watching that, I am reminded that because of my sin, the blood of Jesus was shed. Thank you Lord.

    I know! Gripping stuff, especially when the lamb was being led to the slaughter--so picturesque of our suffering Servant who is our reigning King!
