DAY OF ATONEMENT (3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is the only one of God's commanded holy days where a fast is required. No work whatsoever may be done on the day.
i) The tenth day of the seventh month is the day when the annual ritual is to be performed to take away the sins of the people. On that day do not eat anything at all; come together for worship, and present a food offering to the Lord.
ii) 28 Do no work on that day, because it is the day for performing the ritual to take away sin. 29 Any who eat anything on that day will no longer be considered God’s people. 30 And if any do any work on that day, the Lord himself will put them to death. 31 This regulation applies to all your descendants, no matter where they live. (Leviticus 23)
1. Sacrifices today
i) 13. Now go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Matthew 9:13)
ii) 6 'The kind of fasting I want is this: Remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free. 7 Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor. Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives.' (Isaiah 58:6-7)
