At the Cross .....
Luke 23 and 24
Introduction:
Within the next few weeks the Jewish religion will participate in “Yom Kippur” This is defined as a day of “ignoring the physical, focus on the spiritual” A day of atonement, Confession, and seeking forgiveness of Sin.
This was a day the an offering was made for sin. The Jewish community are still doing it the old way .... However, my Bible tells me in the Old Testament of foretelling of Christ death in Isaiah 53, and the New Testament tells of the fulfillment in Luke 23.
