Leviticus 16:1-34
OUTLINE
I. THE PICTURE OF A GREAT PRIEST (CHRIST OUR MEDIATOR)
II. THE PICTURE OF A GREAT PARDON (CHRIST OUR PARDON)
III. THE PICTURE OF A GREAT POSSIBLITY (CHRIST OUR SAVIOR)

God's plan would dramatically unfold throughout the years of human history, and at just the right time, at just the right moment in human history, God came and dwelt with man to die on that cross and make atonement for and to redeem fall humanity.

The Master Painter takes out the canvass, and dips his brush in red, and on that canvass He paints the bloody cost of man's redemption.
