9. The Lord Who Became the Sin Offering of Atonement (Isaiah 53:7-12)

I would like to testify about the Lord, who became the sin offering of atonement, through today’s Word. The word ‘atonement’ has the meaning of ‘appease, compensate, or cover.’ The meaning of this atonement can be understood by looking at God’s retaliatory war to avenge His people in the Old Testament times. If the Israelites won the war by retaliation against the enemy, the war itself could be a way of atonement for their own people. Let’s assume that a war breaks out, and the king and people of a country fight against the enemy, but in the first war, they lose and many of their own people die. And, in the next war, if the king of that country avenged the enemies of the people by killing all the opponents and winning, this can also be said to be atonement. The meaning of atonement is the same as when our heart longs to take revenge on our enemies, and when that wish is fulfilled, then our heart is appeased. We may describe this as atonement, or expiation.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
