The Holiest Day Fulfilled

Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is revered as the holiest day of the year in Jewish tradition. For followers of Jesus, this is a profound truth, but not in the way that many might think. This is not a day to be observed, but a day to be celebrated as a shadow completely fulfilled by the reality of Jesus Christ.

Many people, including Christians, feel obliged to follow Jewish traditions and celebrate these feasts. However, this comes down to a fundamental choice: do you celebrate the shadow, or do you embrace the Person? The Old Covenant law and its festivals were given to Israel to point them to their need for a Savior, not as a means of salvation. They are a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith (Galatians 3:24). You are either under the law, striving to do the works of men to achieve your own salvation, or you choose to receive the free gift of grace—Jesus Christ Himself.
