Lev16:~The Day of Atonement: Covered by Mercy / 🇫🇷 Lévitique 16: Le Jour du Grand Pardon : Couverts par la Miséricorde

📖 Leviticus 16: The Day of Atonement: Covered by Mercy

🏷️"God makes a way for our sin to be dealt with through mercy, not merit."

🎯 Aim

To understand God's provision for cleansing and atonement and how it points to Christ, our ultimate High Priest.

✨ God’s Attributes

  • 💖 Merciful

  • ⚖️ Just

  • 🔄 Forgiving

  • 👑 Sovereign

📌 Key Facts

  • Describes Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)

  • High priest enters the Holy of Holies once a year

  • Blood is sprinkled for atonement for the people and tabernacle

  • Two goats: one sacrificed, the other released (scapegoat)

🔎 Three Ps

  1. Priesthood – Aaron as mediator

  2. Purification – Sin offering and blood rituals

  3. Pardon – God’s forgiveness through the scapegoat

💡 Insights

  • The scapegoat represents the removal of sin from the community.

  • God’s justice demands atonement, but His mercy provides the means.

  • This foreshadows Jesus Christ our eternal High Priest and perfect sacrifice.

🛠️ Application

Recognize the cost of atonement and live daily with gratitude for Jesus, who fulfills this once-for-all sacrifice.

✅ Deed

Confess your sins today. Accept God’s forgiveness. Then extend that same mercy to someone else.

🙏Prayer

Lord, thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses me. Just like the scapegoat, You carried my guilt far away. Help me to walk in freedom and forgiveness. Amen.
