I know the theme of today’s Lesson. It’s just that I do not have time to write it this morning. The Lord laid the “idea” on my heart yesterday morning, in fact!
Hint: “And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.” Leviticus 16:21-22
Sins, gone!
Born away by the “scapegoat.”
Lead by a “fit man!”
Both figures I believe being symbols or types of Jesus Christ our Lord!
But in that little two verse span above … the Holy Spirit uses all 3 main words for sin/iniquity/wrongdoing in the Hebrew Bible! (Just two in English, but 3 in Hebrew, for sure!)
ALL sin gone!
Wow!
Come back later, after we have driven home!
