TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.” (Leviticus 1:4b)

BIBLE TWEET: Whereas the atonement of repeated and unblemished animal sacrifices, at the Old Testament’s tabernacle and temple, temporarily covered sin, the atonement of the sinless Christ, sacrificed once and for all upon the cross of Calvary, forever removes sin. (John 1:29; Hebrews 7:26-28; 9:11-14)

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: The Hebrew word “kipper,” which means “to make atonement,” is used almost fifty times in Leviticus, as well as about fifty times in the rest of the Old Testament. Is there any wonder, then, that Leviticus, because of all of the sacrificial blood that runs through it, has been called the reddest book in the Bible?
