Yom Kippur
Sep 30, 2017 • Aybars Uckun
On Yom Kippur, we fast from food and other pleasures so that we can draw near to God, confess our sins, and ask for forgiveness. As Messianic Believers in Yeshua, we celebrate His sacrificial death that not only atoned for our sin forever while also creating a way for us to return to our Creator and learn to walk with Him all the days of our lives. Unfortunately, when we fall into sin, instead of getting back up and walking again with God, we turn and run from Him. He wants us to stop running from Him and to turn back to Him so He can break the cycle of sin that caused us to fall in the first place. Yom Kippur is more than a day of solemn fasting; it is an opportunity to experience mercy and restoration!
