Atonement and Redemption
Atonement and Redemption2
Our High Priest
By David Wilkerson0LEV 16:14HEB 4:14HEB 9:12David Wilkerson emphasizes the significance of Jesus as our eternal High Priest, drawing parallels between the Old Testament high priest's annual atonement ritual and Christ's ultimate sacrifice. He explains how the high priest entered the Holy of Holies with incense and blood to reconcile the people with God, symbolizing the prayers and intercession of Christ. Wilkerson highlights that Jesus, through His own blood, entered the true Holy of Holies, securing eternal redemption for believers. This act of sprinkling His blood represents the forgiveness of sins and the assurance of God's acceptance. The sermon reassures that just as the Israelites had confidence in their high priest, we too can have faith in Jesus' redemptive work.
The Spirit of Love - Part 3
By William Law0ISA 43:25JHN 3:16ROM 1:18ROM 5:82CO 5:19EPH 1:3EPH 2:4COL 1:131PE 5:101JN 4:8William Law discusses the nature of God's love and the concept of atonement, emphasizing that God's essence is pure love, devoid of wrath or resentment. He argues that the evils and discord in the world stem from fallen nature, not from God, and that Christ's atonement is not to appease divine wrath but to restore humanity to its original state of righteousness. Law asserts that the suffering and death of Christ were necessary for overcoming the fallen state of man, and that true redemption comes from the transformation of the individual through Christ's nature within them. The dialogue concludes with a strong affirmation that God's love is the foundation of redemption, not a response to divine anger.
