Atonement

...when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord GOD. - Eze 16:63

What a wonderful forshadowing of the upcoming work of Messiah. This is what Jesus came to do: atone for us for all that we have done. Messiah was not to be a earthly king. He was to atone for us, be a sacrifice for our sins, and reconcile sinners with their perfect God.
