The Jewish Yom Kippur and Christianity

Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement (seen in Leviticus). While it was the day in which their sin was atoned for through sacrifice, today it is observed through fasting.

Being that Christianity is rooted in the Jewish faith, does Yom Kippur have any significance for us? Absolutely!

Here is a great article on the relevance of the Jewish calendar's Holiest Day for Christians: "Yom Kippur: The Day".
