The Guilty One Is Set Free

In this episode of the Jewish Road podcast, we look at the Jewish High Holy Day of Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement. This holiday has roots in the Old and New Testaments, and its implications are still relevant to how we live today. Imagine being the Israelites in the wilderness and having your community’s sin cast onto the head of a goat set free in the wilderness, never to return again. Or imagine being a Jewish follower of Jesus as he hung on that cursed tree. He who knew no sin became sin on our behalf. At his death, sin was removed, and the guilty ones were set free. All of this, plus what all of this has to do with the face-off between Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate, makes for a fascinating exploration of this holiday and its implications for us today.

Many Christians struggle to make sense of the Old Testament, or quietly wonder if it still matters. Many Jewish people have never seriously considered Jesus. But what if the two parts of the story were never meant to be separated? Hosted by Jewish followers of Jesus, Matt and Ron Davis, this podcast connects the Hebrew Scriptures with the hope of Messiah found in the New Testament. We tell the story of Israel and help Israel tell her story. God made a promise. God keeps His promises. He’s not done with Israel. And neither are we.
