A Single Act That Makes Us Right
Today’s Bible Study February 21, 2012
“He (High Priest) will put on holy linen garments and purify the Most Holy Place, the Tabernacle, the altar, the priests and the entire congregation.” (Leviticus 16:32-33).
To Find (look for):
Is anyone else allowed in the Most Holy Place beside the High Priest on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:2)?
What five things does the Day of Atonement sacrifice purify (Leviticus 16:32-33)?
To Mind (key point): Significant preparation had to be made by the High Priest before he could perform the Day of Atonement sacrifices. This annual festival was the way in which God atoned for the sins of the entire congregation for the prior year – both intentional sins and unintentional sins. The comprehensiveness is staggering!
To Bind (apply to our lives): While the High Priest had duties on the Day of Atonement, there were also requirements of the people. They were to keep the Sabbath and fast in a spirit of repentance.
