Yom Kipper~Eve

I am a Christian.

I am also a Jew.

I am a Messianic Jew in an Interfaith Marriage - Holland and I hold differing views on certain topics.

But above all, I am a Messianic Christian who believes Yeshua is the Messiah - Son of the Most High God, Savior of my soul, Redeemer and Deliverer; without the atoning blood of Yeshua, there is no salvation: on this we agree … and we agree to disagree on hot topics.

When the sun sets tonight, Yom Kippur begins.

Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement, and it is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It's central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe Yom Kippur with a day-long fast, confession, and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yet, the Hebrew Scriptures tell us that there is no atonement apart from the shedding of blood (Lev. 17:11). Without a temple, the sacrifices required by the Mosaic Law cannot be offered.

 

But Elohim has provided the final atonement in His Son, the Jewish Messiah, who has become our one and only atoning sacrifice (John the Baptist identifies Yeshua as Elohim's Son: John 1:34; the 12 Jewish Apostles recognized Yeshua is our blood atonement for our sins: Hebrews 10:12-14).

Listen to Dr. Fruchtenbaum explain the meaning of Yom Kippur from a Messianic viewpoint (I, personally, have met and sat under his teaching - it's solid Scripture based teaching), and pray for your unsaved Jewish friends and relatives to recognize God's perfect sacrifice during this holy season :-)
