    Find Atonement In God's Intercessor

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 30, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,684 views

    Christ has done what Moses could not do. He has "made atonement" for the sins of God’s people. Jesus took our guilt upon himself. Jesus received the punishment we deserved because of our sins.

    In the Old Testament lesson for this Sunday we heard how Moses served as a sign to God’s people. He symbolized a greater prophet who would appear some time in the future. For forty years Moses filled the role of God’s voice among the Israelites. Remember they had asked for that arrangement after ...read more
