Leviticus - the blueprint for redemption

Jan 19, 2025    Greg Burdine

Leviticus focuses on the laws and rituals God gave the Jews to help them live holy lives. Leviticus 16, which describes the Day for Atonement, is a foreshadowing of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice and redemptive work on the cross.

1. The need for atonement (Leviticus 16:2). 

2. The scapegoat: Sin removed (Leviticus 16:22)

3. The once-for-all sacrifice (Leviticus 16:29-30)

4. The invitation to draw near (Hebrews 4:16)


What should I do? 1 - Reflect on the magnitude of Jesus' sacrifice; 2 - Accept the atonement in Jesus; 3- Live in the freedom and forgiveness Jesus provides.
