"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 1 John 1:7
Read
Exodus 37:1-9, Leviticus 16:15-16, Hebrews 9:26-28
Do you remember the story of the Passover? God asked the children of Israel to kill a lamb and cover the door with its blood. God was going to lead His children to a very special place to live, but it would take a long time to get there. God knew that they would get lonely so He told Moses to build a chest so that the people could know God would be with them. The ark was a special object, they carried it everywhere they went. They even carried into battles to show everyone that God was with them. On the top of the ark it was pure gold, it was called the Atonement Cover. Atonement means 'to cover.' The Israelites had one day a year when they would remember their mistakes and used animals blood to sprinkle over the ark to cover their sins/mistakes. This was to be done until the Final Sacrifice would come. Do you know who took the place of the lambs? It was Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross He covered all of our sins forever. Everyone who comes to Him will be forgiven.
