A Reminder of a Great Salvation

The Lord's Supper is a visual reminder of the death of Christ. The Lord's Supper sends a clear message to all who will listen: because of the dying of His body and the shedding of His blood, a Holy God has dealt with our sins. The verses we read contain two reasons for the coming of Christ: 1) He came to be a merciful and faithful High Priest in service to God and 2) to make atonement for the sins of the people. One of the functions of a High Priest was to make sacrifices. Jesus came to make a sacrifice that would serve as atonement for our sin. In this study, we consider the God's holiness, God's solution to our sinfulness, and the results from receiving God's solution to sin.
