The day that Jesus died on the cross was the day of atonement, never another atonement

to be made, and when he atoned for our sins, he didn't go into the temple on earth and

sprinkle his blood there on the ark of the company, what the heaven to the heavenly tabernacle?

And there with his final work of atonement, presented the finished work to the Father,

from that day has been serving as our high priest, interceding for his people, the church,

is brief, this significance of that event cannot be overstated.

of Luke's gospel, but it is the final of the four gospels that we have preached through

verse by verse.

I'm going to move then to chapter 24, beginning at verse 36, and as a congregation

pleased to stand for the reading of the Word of God.
