Finished

Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
The Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish year, will be celebrated September 17th through 18th. Christians do not have to celebrate the Old Testament feasts and ordinances because they were simply types and shadows of he who was to come.  Every sacrifice, every ceremony, every feast, was a forerunner of what would be accomplished in Jesus.
All is fulfilled in him.
Atonement for us was done on the cross when Jesus sacrificed himself as a Lamb without spot or wrinkle, to be the substitute/ the propitiation for the sins of the whole world.
In the words of Paul, who has bewitched us that having begun in grace we pick and choose when to flip back to the Law?
Read Romans - a better way;  Hebrews - a better covenant,  Thessalonians- a better hope.
Remember, what the Law could not do, God sent Jesus made under the Law as the complete Redeemer of those born under the Law. That's us and as many as will accept the finished work of Calvary.
Nothing needs to be added.
By all means fast and pray but remember, all that is needed is already accomplished by Jesus Christ.
Let us walk in the simple but profound truth of Salvation by grace.
