In September, Jews still celebrate Rosh Hashanah (the new year) and Yom
Kippur. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement which is one of the
holiest days for Jews since it is a day of reflection on sins of the
past year and repentance, asking for God's mercy.
For Christians, the day of atonement was the day Jesus Christ was
crucified for the sins of the whole world.
With these thoughts in mind, consider the following.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been
justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through
him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God
through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life. And not only this, but we also exult
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received
the atonement." Romans
5:8-11 |
