In Leviticus 9:15, 18 we read of how Aaron brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin.....and he also killed the bull and the ram as sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar. If this is how God required to be done to atone for the sins of the Israelites, we now know that we had our dear Lord Jesus Christ who was willing to be like the goat, willing to be killed so that the requirement for sin offering could be fulfilled forever. When at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” in Mark 15:34, Jesus took upon Himself all the sins for each and evey one of us and hence, God the Father had to forsake Him at that particular moment. But, when the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Mark 15:38), it denotes that God had accepted this Sin Offering once and for all and God has come to dwell amongst men. We are able to have accessed to Him ONLY IF we accept Jesus as our sin and peace offering like the ram in the Old Testament. Let us share this with our friends during this year of the ram. https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
