Yom Kippur and the celebration of Atonement amidst today's news

Today is the observation of Yom Kippur that began at sundown yesterday.

While it started as a high holy day throughout Israel as a day of repentance with time to connect with God and offer sacrifice for sin....followers of the risen Christ Jesus can also reflect today, on the Day of Atonement, in how much his sacrifice of love means to us.

What blessings to our soul increase when we draw near to God and know His Name...

What it means to neglect our common 'five afflictions' of physical senses just so to hear His voice...

The words of Daniel the prophet spoke about the peace-gift we can receive amidst today's turmoil, because the Anointed One has come to us bringing everlasting righteousness.....that we could through His sacrifice have a personal relationship with our Saviour & friend.
Grace and Peace unto you, friends.
