1 | Theological Term: Expiation | Lev 16:20 | DocTrinsograce | 236551 | ||
"Expiation describes Christ’s work as a substitutionary sacrifice by which He cleanses us from the guilt and defilement of sin. John called Him the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29, 36; see also Revelation 5:9). This terminology points to the Old Testament sacrificial system. The Old Testament sacrifices served as types of the atoning work of Christ. The two key components of the sacrificial system were representation and imputation. "The idea of representation is illustrated in the sacrifices offered on the Day of Atonement. Annually on that day, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies with sin offerings for himself and for the people (Leviticus 16:11, 15). In these transactions the priest and the people confessed that it was they who deserved to die; the animals were slain in their place. "The notion of imputation is also illustrated on the Day of Atonement. The priest placed his hands on the head of the live goat and confessed the sins of the people. Then the live goat was led away into the wilderness (Leviticus 16:20–22). In this ceremonial act, the sins of the people were imputed to the goat. It was led into the wilderness to depict that the guilt of the sins of the people had been removed from them 'as far as the east is from the west' (Psalm 103:12)." --Joseph Pipa, Jr. From the article: http://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/bearer-iniquity/ |
