The author of the book of Revelation sees the Resurrected Christ Jesus as the holy Lamb of God and the Bright Morning Star, who brings light and salvation to the world. The book of Revelation sees Christ Jesus as One in holy fellowship with His Majestic Father of Glory, who deserves all our honor, worship, and faithfulness just like His Eternal Father. The heavenly hosts sang a song of praise and worship to the Lamb of God, who was slain, to redeem, cleanse, and save us from Satan’s darkness and to deliver us to His Eternal Father by His precious blood so He could make us kings and holy priests for His Eternal Father to reign with Him forever and ever. Even more, the book of Revelation calls Christ Jesus our Lord, the Lamb that was filled with the Holy Spirit of God, like His Eternal Father. Importantly, the book of Revelation reveals the Resurrected Christ Jesus as the Passover Lamb of God who died for our sins, crimes, and wrongdoings so we can turn away (repent) and be cleansed from Satan’s dark deeds and evildoing such as lying, thief, witchcraft, drunkenness, sexual sins, greed (covetousness), and idolatry, so we can find salvation with abundant and new life now and for all eternity with Him and His Eternal Father.

The Resurrected Christ Jesus is our Eternal High Priest and Mediator, and He is seated ALIVE at the right hand of His Holy Father - the Majestic King of Glory, making intercession for our needs and pleading our cause of guilt to His Holy Father when we repent and turn to Him with faithful obedience. Here is the Good News: Christ Jesus as the sacrificial Passover Lamb of God gave His sinless life and precious blood by entering the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holiest) in the heavenly Tabernacle to atone and provide the final once and for all sacrifice for the sins of the world so that everyone that believes and obeys Him finds forgiveness, eternal redemption with a new spiritual life, and salvation forever. Here is more Good News: the precious blood of Christ Jesus cleanses us of all our sins, wrongdoings, and crimes when we humbly and genuinely REPENT (turn from Satan’s darkness), confess our sins to God, and turn to the living Sovereign LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus with love and faithful obedience.

The sacrificial death of Christ Jesus is one of the most important events in the Holy Bible. The Cross of Christ Jesus brings together the Old Testament sacrifices and the New Testament’s truth and grace. Without the Cross of Christ Jesus, there would be no hope and salvation for the world!

The New Testament writers gave the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread a new meaning, forever linked with a Jewish Rabbi, Christ Jesus our Lord. In the Old Testament, the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread are annual holy days that celebrate and remember the Israelites’ deliverance and redemption from Egyptian slavery and bondage by the living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth (Adonai). The Passover (Pesach) and Feast of Unleavened Bread are mentioned throughout the Holy Bible. By far, the most well-known account of Passover is the Last Supper of Christ Jesus with the lamb, bitter herbs, and wine. Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, celebrated the Passover during His public ministry on earth as a perfect and sinless Jew (Hebrew), without wrongdoing, who fully obeyed the Law of God. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah predicted the Messiah (Christ, Anointed One) would be a Servant of God who suffered and then sacrificed unto death as a sinless Lamb to atone for our sins, wrongdoings, and crimes against Adonai (Yahweh) by His precious blood so He could bring salvation (healing), redemption, righteousness, and forgiveness to all people (Jews and Gentiles) of the world that look to Him with wholehearted faithful trust and obedience.

Christ Jesus our Lord became the final sacrificial Passover of Lamb for the sins of the world when He was crucified and died on Calvary’s Cross one Good Friday over 2000 years ago outside the city of Jerusalem. Before His crucifixion and sacrifice, Christ Jesus knew He would die on Passover for the sins of the world as predicted by Old Testament prophecy, but Christ Jesus also foreknew that He would rise again from complete death on the third day to rule and reign as King and Lord to provide liberation and deliverance from Satan’s slavery and bondage. Christ Jesus fulfilled the Passover celebration and the Feast of Unleavened Bread because He is our Deliverer and Savior of the World. The New Testament writers see Christ Jesus our Lord as the perfect and spotless Passover Lamb without blemishes and sins, who gave Himself as a final sacrifice on Good Friday to deliver and redeem us from Satan’s wrath, destruction, and death. The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son Christ Jesus to deliver us from sins and condemnation through faithful obedience to Him as Lord and Savior.

Let everyone REPENT and give Christ Jesus praise as our Deliverer and Lord!

The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is considered the most holy day on the Jewish calendar for all Jews, both individually and collectively. On the Day of Atonement, the Jewish people rested from their work with a holy fast and recognized all their sins committed throughout the year against the living Sovereign LORD God (Adonai). Then, the high priest of Israel on this most holy day made a confession for their sins and the sins of the people and entered the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies) in the Tabernacle (Temple) with the blood of reconciliation to ask for forgiveness and to atone for the people’s sins against the living Sovereign LORD God so they would not reap the destruction and death because of their sins. Importantly, the living Sovereign LORD God pardoned and forgave the people’s sins and wrongdoing after the high priest’s atonement. Leviticus chapter 16 in the Old Testament goes into great detail about the Yom Kippur ceremony, which centered on the sacrifices of two goats - one goat slain as a blood sacrifice for sins and the other goat (scapegoat) removing the people’s sins.

Here is even more Good News: Christ Jesus, our Great High Priest, fulfilled the Day of Atonement for all people! The living Sovereign LORD God of the heavens and earth so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, by His grace as the final atonement, ransom, and sacrifice to deliver and free us from Satan’s sin and eternal condemnation. Christ Jesus’s sinless blood and sacrificial death on Calvary’s Cross (execution stake) as the Suffering Servant and Passover Lamb of God provided atonement for all eternity with both a propitiation (appeasement, and satisfaction of God’s judgment) and expiation (payment to God) for our sins so we would not experience God’s wrath and punishment but instead God’s grace, peace (shalom), redemption, salvation, and forgiveness through faithful obedience to Him. On Calvary’s Cross, Christ Jesus was displayed as the final kapparah (propitiation, expiation, ransom, and atonement) and our sacrifice to fulfill Yom Kippur, but even more as our Liberator and Jubilee to set us free from Satan’s slavery to sinfulness and sickness. Christ Jesus declared He is our Jubilee, and He is the “time for the LORD’s favor” and grace. The King and Savior of the World is found only in Christ Jesus our Deliverer, who is the Son of the living God. Through repentance with faithful obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord, the living Sovereign LORD God offers everyone atonement, salvation, and redemption with spiritual peace and rest on earth and for all eternity. Christ Jesus makes us holy and righteous before His Holy Father when we trust in Him and obey Him with faithful obedience as our Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus is our Yom Kippur! Let everyone REPENT and come to Christ Jesus as Lord!
