We are grateful for another opportunity to come to the Lord's Table. As we prepare our hearts to come to the Supper, I want to open up the Old Covenant Day of Atonement. This was the one day in the year in which the high priest entered into the holy of holies in order to make atonement for the sins of the people of God. What makes it so important with respect to the coming of the Savior is that this day gave a stunning picture of the nature of atonement, propitiation, and expiation. Jesus, as the true High Priest, was also the atoning sacrifice for the sins of His people. And by His great work on our behalf, the wrath of God was propitiated, and the sins of His people were expiated. There is absolutely no other way that this work of redemption could be accomplished. That is, Jesus had to do it, and He had to do it in this precise manner. All of this was foreshadowed in the Day of Atonement. May we be mindful of what Jesus did; how He did it; and why He did it. And may the Lord be pleased to bless His word to our hearts, and to make His presence known at the Supper.

Very clear and powerful explanation! It's always good to be reminded why Jesus had to die. I am safe from God's wrath upon sin in Christ, my Savior.
