Three Pictures in Atonement

Long before the cross, God painted a picture of redemption in blood, wilderness, and mercy. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest would enter the Most Holy Place—alone, trembling, and covered in sacred linen—to make intercession for the sins of the people. Every movement was weighted with purpose, every detail a shadow of something greater still to come.

Leviticus 16 offers ritual AND revelation: a portrait of Christ as our Mediator, our Redeemer, and our great Possibility. The priest, the sacrifice, and the scapegoat all point forward to Jesus—the one who entered the true sanctuary, bore our sin, and opened the way for us to be made clean. And now, that atonement is not only available—it invites a response. In Christ, we are not only forgiven; we are called to reflect Him.

This week, come see what God revealed in three powerful images—and ask: What reflection does your life offer to the world?
