The Day of Atonement is a solemn day of fasting with a focus on humility, repentance, and reconciliation picturing a time of becoming “at one” with God. Every aspect of the Day of Atonement points to Jesus Christ as the perfect sacrifice for sin and our High Priest.

Two identical goats are used in a sacred ceremony performed by the priest on the Day of Atonement. This message explores the two common explanations: that one goat represents Christ and the other Satan; or, that both goats picture Christ. What is the best view for us to take?

For many, sin is just a punchline, but it is something far more serious to God. God’s word stresses the true cost of sin. Yet, God is eager that all come to repentance, obey His law, and seek God’s kingdom and righteousness.
