Happy Easter

Easter thought: Isn't it significant that Jesus was crucified on Passover and not Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)?

To listen to some people's theology, you would think that Jesus was crucified on the Day of Atonement, but he wasn't. Think about that for a minute. Passover is about freedom from bondage. The Day of Atonement is about covering up the past. Passover is about the future.

Yes, Christ's death and resurrection accomplished atonement; scripture is clear about that, although the mechanics aren't. But, the fact that Jesus was crucified on Passover sends us a clear message that we are free!
