What does the Day of Atonement teach us about forgiveness—not only seeking forgiveness from God, but making things right with one another? In this fascinating teaching, Ps Enoch Lavender explores a remarkable tradition associated with Ethiopian Jewish practice that provides a vivid picture of repentance, reconciliation and making amends.
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the most solemn day of the biblical calendar—a day centred on repentance, cleansing and reconciliation with God. Leviticus 16:30 declares: “For on this day the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.” But this raises another important question: What about the wrongs we have committed against other people?
Ps Enoch Lavender was born in Australia, raised in Norway, spent time living in China and is now based on the Gold Coast of Australia. He has been studying Hebrew and the Jewish roots of our faith for the past decade, and has a keen interest in the Middle East from a Bible prophecy perspective.
