Propitiation for our Sins<\/strong> — Sermon outline by G. E. Watkins on the meaning and importance of Jesus being the propitiation for our sins.<\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/strong> 1 John 1:7 – 2:2<\/p>\n

1. John is discussing the sin problem among Christians.<\/p>\n

1) 1:7 Walk in the light … blood cleanses.<\/p>\n

2) 1:8 We may be assured we have a sin problem.<\/p>\n

3) 1:9 forgiven, cleansed if we confess sins.<\/p>\n

4) 1:10 Assured again, we must deal with sin.<\/p>\n

5) 2:1 John stresses where it is we must go if we are in sin.<\/p>\n

6) 2:2 He is the hILASMOS, the propitiation for our sins<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2. I believe some go their entire lives without knowing just what that word means. WHAT A LOSS! This is GOLD!<\/p>\n

3. If you pay attention today this will be the last day you won’t know what it means.<\/p>\n

4. Today we’re going to chip this nugget of gold out of the boulder. If you make notes you’ll be able to study it anytime.<\/p>\n

Discussion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.   PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS – NEW TESTAMENT CLUES<\/h2>\n

1. Romans 3:25<\/p>\n

1) Jesus is a propitiation for our sins<\/em><\/p>\n

2) Slight variant of our word, hILASTERION.<\/p>\n

2. Same word used in Heb. 9:5.<\/p>\n

3. There is a connection here that must be understood.<\/p>\n

1) In the 3rd century BC a translation of the Law of God was made from the Hebrew into Greek. Today it is called the Septuagint.<\/p>\n

2) This translation serves as a bridge of understanding between the Greek of the NT and the Hebrew of the OT.<\/p>\n

3) Keep this in mind as we continue.<\/p>\n

II.  PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT<\/h2>\n

1. Strictly speaking “propitiation” is a NT word.<\/p>\n

2. However, through our bridge we find it mentioned 26 times in 22 verses.<\/p>\n

3. Exo. 25:17 for example. “You shall make a hILASTERION (LXX).<\/p>\n

4. The mercy seat was the lid atop the ark of the covenant.<\/p>\n

5. As it is with many revered things and places, the significance comes from what happens or happened there.<\/p>\n

1) Gettysburg<\/p>\n

2) Alamo<\/p>\n

3) Normandy<\/p>\n

4) Iwo Jima<\/p>\n

5) Ground Zero<\/p>\n

6. So it is with the Mercy Seat.<\/p>\n

III. PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS – THE DAY OF ATONEMENT<\/h2>\n

1. In the seventh month, tenth day the children of Israel were to fast, Lev. 16:29.<\/p>\n

2. It was a day of repentance and cleansing from sin.<\/p>\n

3. The high priest had to make a sacrifice for his own cleansing first, Lev. 16:6.<\/p>\n

4. Blood had to be sprinkled on the Mercy Seat, v. 14<\/p>\n

5. Goat was killed, blood sprinkled on the Mercy Seat FOR THE PEOPLE, v. 15.<\/p>\n

6. v. 16, “Thus he shall make atonement.”<\/p>\n

IV.  JESUS, THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS<\/h2>\n

1. Again, it is what happens at a place that makes it significant.<\/p>\n

2. The law has shadows of realities to come, Heb. 10:1. The Mercy Seat is such a shadow.<\/p>\n

3. In the Old Testament scene of atonement Jesus is the High Priest, Heb. 9:7-14.<\/p>\n

4. He is the goat, the atoning blood is His.<\/p>\n

1) John 1:29, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”<\/p>\n

2) Matthew 26:28, “for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured our for many for the forgiveness of sins.”<\/p>\n

3) John 19:34, “But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.<\/p>\n

4) Eph. 1:7, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.”<\/p>\n

5) Heb. 9:12, “he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.<\/p>\n

5. But what of the seat itself? What is that in the New Testament scheme?<\/p>\n

1) Between the Cherubim on that old seat was where God dwelled, 2 Sam. 6:2.<\/p>\n

2) Where Moses heard the voice of God, Num. 7:89<\/p>\n

3) That Mercy Seat was a representation of the throne room of God in Heaven.<\/p>\n

a. Ezekiel 1 (Ezek. 10, these creatures are identified as Cherubim.)<\/p>\n

b. Rev. 4:6-7 (Ezek. 1:10, As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.)<\/p>\n

4) So the blood of Christ was sprinkled on the throne of the Father for our atonement.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. So the word “propitiation” goes from be a dry theological word to a living vibrant one. Full of meaning.<\/p>\n

2. I think now of the deep tragedy of those who have not appropriated the atonement for their own souls.<\/p>\n

1) Some are even Christians who stand condemned because of sin. It doesn’t have to be. Acts 8:22; 1 John 1:7-9<\/p>\n

2) There are others, perhaps those in this audience, who have not obeyed God’s will, so that THAT atonement might be your atonement.<\/p>\n
