Observe Yom Kippur: God’s Pathways to Blessings
•1 MinutesToday we observe Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement. It is the holiest day on God’s calendar, meant to be a solemn remembrance of how God demonstrated His forgiveness of the Israelites’ sins in the Old Testament when the high priest made atonement for the people’s sins by sacrificing a perfect animal (Leviticus 16:1–34; 23:26–32).
This day still is special to God. Today, we commemorate our reconciliation with our holy God through the sacrifice of His son Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God.
This Day of Atonement, we honor Him by reflecting on our lives, asking God to forgive our sins, and forgiving those who have hurt us, knowing that He remains faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess our sins and repent.
The pathway to receiving God’s blessings has always been obedience to His ways. Just as God blessed the Israelites when they observed His holy days, so He will bless you. May you joyfully receive forgiveness and reconciliation through Jesus on this sacred day on God’s calendar.
God bless you,
David Cerullo
