THE LIFE OF JESUS
Part 19: The Atonement |
|
|
There are a lot of things in the four Gospels with
origins in the Old Testament. The atonement Jesus provided on the
cross is one of them but the crucifixion alone didn't do it. It
happened during the three hours Jesus hung on the cross. The initial
setup took place during the time of Moses when the high priest
entered the tabernacle and sacrificed a goat and banished another
for the sins of the people. The payment of sin was deferred with the
second goat. When Jesus came to earth in form of a man, He was
referred to as the Lamb of God, a title dating back to the time of
the Passover in Egypt. God the Son entered a human body, lived a
sinless life, and was imbued with the filth of sin on the cross. All
of human history points to the cross when the wrath of God the
Father was poured out on Jesus. It was the end of the First Covenant
when God the Father reconciled mankind back to Himself through God
the Son. The veil in the temple separating the holy of holies was
torn, signifying that the atonement was complete. The Second
Covenant was in effect and blood sacrifices would never be needed
again. |
