Atonement

Matthew 26:26- while they were dining, Y'shua took bread and blessed it, broke it and gave it to his disciples and said, "Take, eat. This is my body." And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them and said, "Take, drink from it, all of you (his 12 Apostles). This is my blood of the renewed covenant, which for the sake of many is shed for the forgiveness of sins."

In John 10:11 Y'shua says he is the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the flock. Then, in John 15:13 he says, "There is no love that is greater than this, that a man lay down his life for the sake of his friends. You are my friends if you do all that I commanded you - everything that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you."

And what did Y'shua the Anointed One eventually do? He willingly fulfilled his part in the divine plan and was led to his death, without argument, without resistance. He laid down his life for his friends, those who abide by the Father's Instructions. His blood was shed for our sake, for atonement.

Revelation 12:11- And they overcame (Satan, the Accuser), because of the blood of the Lamb, (Y'shua, whom they acknowledge openly); and they loved not their own lives, even to death. Leviticus 17:11 Yah says- "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have assigned it to you for making atonement for your lives. It is the blood, as life, that effects atonement."

Leviticus 23:26 ~

Mark, the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a sacred occasion for you. You shall practice self-denial and you shall bring an offering by fire to YHWH. You shall do no work throughout that day for it is a Day of Atonement on which expiation is made on your behalf before YHWH Elohim.  Indeed, any person who does not practice self-denial throughout that day shall be cut off from his kin and whoever does any work throughout that day I will cause that person to perish from among his people. Do no work whatsoever, it is a law for all time, throughout the ages in all your settlements. It shall be a sabbath of complete rest for you as you practice self-denial, beginning on the 9th day of the month at evening until the 10th day at evening, you shall observe this sabbath. (A Hebrew day is from evening to evening)

Numbers 29:7 ~

On the tenth day of the same seventh month you shall observe a sacred occasion when you shall practice self-denial and do no work. (Offerings by fire and libations are no longer done).

Today we observe the tenth day of the Hebrew 7th month by abstaining from all our usual daily behaviors. For the most part, the practice of sacrifice stopped in the year 70 AD, when the Roman army destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem, the place where sacrifices were offered. The practice was briefly resumed during the Jewish War of 132-135 AD, but was ended permanently after that war was lost.

Hebrews 10:11

For every high priest who stood and ministered daily, offered again and again the same sacrifices which never were sufficient to purge away sins. But this Priest (Y'shua the Anointed One) offered one sacrifice for sins, and forever sat down at the right hand of Elohim (where he waits for his kingdom to come). For by one offering he has perfected forever, them who are sanctified by him.

Now, where there is a forgiveness of sins there is no offering for sin demanded.
