Tomorrow is September 23rd which is the 10th
of Tishri, Yom Kippur, or the ”Day of Atonement”, which is the holiest day of
the Jewish year. Yom Kippur is about
purification, when the High Priest of old would enter the Holy-of-Holies of the
Temple, and on behalf the nation of Israel, offer a blood sacrifice for the
sins of the people.
I heard a good teaching today about how many of us judge
others, have philosophies and opinions about how others should be living, and what
politicians and nations should be doing to make things right.
The speaker’s conclusion was that rather than being worried
about others’ sins, we need to focus on our own sin, repent to God the Father and
engage with Jesus to walk out our own personal recovery. We need to individually, honestly confront
our denials, and rationalizations, owning our sin, and struggles, and repent to
the Father, and share our struggle with a Christ following brother or sister.
Would you consider doing this today my friend? The time is now.
