Today (March 3) I read Leviticus 13:8-16:10 and Luke 1:5-80. My favorite verses are:
Leviticus 16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
In the sacrificial laws given by God to the Israelite people there was provision for a scapegoat. This animal, instead of being killed, was let go into the wilderness alive to carry away the sins of the people which had been confessed over its head. Jesus Christ, who died as a sacrifice for our sins, now lives to make intercession for us with the Father. He is our scapegoat—we confess our sins to Him, and He makes atonement for us with the Father. Because of this, we can indeed rejoice in God who is our Saviour.
About Me
- Dena
- Since retiring from public school teaching, I spend more time on church and Theatre activities. My church family is at Union Ridge Baptist near Nixa. I am married to Ron Boutwell, Founder of Stained Glass Theatre. We have two dogs and four cats to keep us company! I donate blood platelets twice each month at the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks because I want to be useful to others who need help. I am involved in the ministry of Stained Glass Theatre; I began in 2009 with a role in the Christmas production then served as an understudy in THE OUTPOURING. Since then, I have appeared in several more shows. I pray that God will allow me to be used of Him and witness for Him along with the rest of the SGT Family.
