The Mt. of Olives Goat

Thursday, August 31, 2023

On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year, the High Priest stood with the scapegoat, pronouncing the sins of Israel over the goat. Symbolically placing them on it. He turned to the multitudes and said, “You shall be cleansed.” A priest then led the goat out of the temple, through the Eastern Gate, and up to the Mount of Olives. The people watched as their sins ascended the mountain, then disappeared, taken into the wilderness. The Mount of Olives was the vanishing point for the scapegoat and their sins which it carried. Messiah is our scapegoat. He took our sins upon Himself. And then, just as the scapegoat, He went to the Mount of Olives and there He vanished. The scapegoat disappeared into the wilderness, but Messiah disappeared into Heaven. It means there’s no way on earth, literally, you can find your sins, in Messiah. He’s taken them out of the world and into the sky. Let them go already. Let them vanish from your heart as they’ve vanished from the earth. Let them go forever with your Holy Scapegoat… into the sky.

From Message #149 – The Scapegoat 
Scripture: 1 John 3:5

TODAY’S MISSION – Let go of the shame from your past today. Messiah’s blood has made you clean. Confess it and believe it.
