This lesson from Leviticus 16 explores the Day of Atonement, when Israel received forgiveness through the high priest’s sacrifices. Aaron offered blood for his sins and the nation’s, placing sin symbolically on a scapegoat sent into the wilderness. This foreshadowed Christ, who both bore and removed our sins. Unlike the repeated offerings of the Old Covenant, Jesus’ sacrifice was once for all—complete and final. The lesson emphasizes God's holiness, the seriousness of sin, and the eternal sufficiency of Christ's atoning work.
