Jesus' Death is Alive

The Israelites in the desert and the Jews in Jerusalem had to repeat the Day of Atonement sacrifice year after year after year. But Jesus, the final atonement sacrifice, was resurrected. That means that His atoning blood is eternal. Jesus’ death is alive. And so are His mercy and grace and pardon and restoration. His blood covers your sin and your brokenness just as powerfully and beautifully today, as it did the moment He uttered the words, “It is finished.”
