"Tokens" of Christ's Atonement (Week 16, Part 3/7) Easter | Apr 11-17
Come, Follow Me 2022 Old Testament Daily Short Videos | 05 min
Painting the door lintels with the blood of slain sheep was a token that God would not harm the Israelites. Since Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, symbols of Christ’s sacrifice and atonement can be a means for us to focus our thoughts and channel our worship in church and in the temple. After His resurrection, Jesus Christ used the nail prints in his hands and feet as tokens of identification for his disciples in both the Old World and the New World.
There may be symbols of Christ’s sacrifice in our church and temple worship that certify our identity as covenant children of God. Through reverencing symbols of Christ’s sacrifice, we can continually remember Him and learn to become like Him. At the end of our lives, we will all come face to face with our Savior Jesus Christ. Through His grace and through our efforts, we hope that when we see Him, He will recognize us as His.
