The Gospel Truth (Vlog): Atonement Pt. 1

Understanding fully that man is sinful, God is just, and that God’s righteous penalty for sin is death leads one to the logical next question: is there any hope for me?

There is a quick answer.  “Yes, there is hope provided in the person of Jesus Christ.”  He did what was necessary to secure atonement for man’s sins by accepting God’s wrath upon himself.   But, to truly understand the depths of the work Christ performed on the cross one needs to venture back through redemptive history and examine God’s “promissory note” which was provided in the Law of Moses.

Today’s installment introduces the sacrificial system of the Old Testament.  Day after day, night after night, the sins of Israel were on public display through a bloody and endless assembly of sacrificial animals.  These bloody sacrificial acts provided temporary vicarious recipients for God’s wrath to be expiated upon until the promised Christ came to fulfill these legal requirements in permanence.
