S3E5: Day of Atonement

Show Notes

There are two big places in the Old Testament where Jesus is undeniably present and foreshadowed.  One, of course, is the Passover Feast and the paschal lamb.  The other is the Day of Atonement.  This day, found in the middle of Leviticus is the center of worship for the Old Testament Israelites.  It happened only once a year, but it was so important that this day was the only day that the Most Holy Place was breeched.  On this day we have the presence of God on the ark; the blood spilled out from a goat of sacrifice; the High Priest in super-special vestments signifying something truth that happens on no other day; and maybe, most importantly we have the scapegoat.  Now, if we can’t find Jesus here in the Old Testament, then we are never going to find Him.

What is The Uncultured Saints?

We’re told the same thing over and over. Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture. The thing is, it isn’t the culture saying it. It’s the church. We’ve done a great job figuring out what we’re not. Sometimes we forget what we are. We’re the saints, washed in the blood of the lamb. We’re sinners Jesus made holy. This defines us. There are places Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture because Christianity isn’t bound by culture. We’re free in Christ to be uncultured. Not against it. Not apart from it. Undefined by it, because we’re defined by something greater. Join Pr. Goodman and Pr. Lietzau, the uncultured saints, as we tackle today’s issues through the lens of the Lutheran Confessions and find answers to today’s questions rooted in a timeless truth in Christ.
