Christ the Scapegoat

Summary

The sermon explores the symbolism of the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16 as a foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work. It emphasizes Christ as both the sinless high priest and the sacrificial lamb whose blood satisfies God's justice and removes sin completely. The two goats represent the dual aspects of Christ's work: the sacrifice for sin and the removal of sin from God's presence. The message concludes with the assurance of forgiveness, justification, and new life through faith in Jesus Christ.
