The Day of Atonement is rich in meaning for true Christians. Once again Jesus Christ is at the very center of the Day of Atonement as He is in all the other Holy Days. What should the Day of Atonement mean to you? The Day of Atonement plays an important role in symbolizing a vital step in God’s plan of redemption and salvation. In this sermon we will discuss three vital lessons we need to learn from observing this very important and meaningful day.
