At the very moment Jesus died on friday at 3PM, the Jewish High Priest would have just completed the blood offering in the temple and the Shofar Horn would have been sounded to notify everyone that the sacrifice had been given. Little did the player of the horn know he was signifying the perfect, true sacrifice that would fulfill the old covenant and bring salvation to everyone! Isn't it awesome that Jesus gave the perfect sacrifice that day. I wonder what the High Priest thought when the veil ripped in half??? The good news today on this Easter Sunday is that right now in Jerusalem, there is an empty tomb!! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

I have been in services where the shofar was sounded and it is amazing how it makes me feel! Knowing this will bring even greater significance to celebration in worship. Thanks!
It is amazing when you read the Old Testement how all the temple sacrifice's point to the coming of, and the finished work of, Christ.
John the Baptist had it writes. Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. (John 1:29)
