The Greatest Love Gift

On Valentine’s Day, many express love by giving a gift. They may write a love letter, give flowers, candy, or even a toaster. (I don’t recommend the toaster guys) lol  Truth is, finding the greatest expression of love can be quite difficult.

Leviticus 16:22

And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities into a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

On the Day of Atonement, the priest was to offer a sacrifice to God, using two goats. He kills the first goat as a sin offering, and then lays hands on the second goats’s  head and confesses all the sins of God’s people. The goat then is driven into the wilderness, carrying on itself all their sins.

This Old Testament sacrifice was a perfect view of the sacrifice Jesus would make some 1,400 years later.

Thats the greatest Love gift of all!

Thank you Lord for your perfect love gift!Happy Valentine’s Day Readers!
