The Law

God in Many Voices
Written By Dominic Jackson

Summary

As part of our God in Many Voices series, Dominic Jackson explores the genre of biblical law through the lens of Leviticus 16. He shows how the Day of Atonement isn’t just an ancient ritual—it’s a legal instruction given to shape Israel’s moral and spiritual life. From priestly garments to scapegoats, Dominic unpacks how these commands revealed God’s justice and mercy, and how they ultimately point to Christ, who fulfils the law and offers lasting atonement. We are invited to see God’s law not as empty regulation, but as a gracious pattern forming a forgiven and holy people.

Questions for reflection

  • What does it mean to see biblical law as a form of grace?

  • In what areas of your life do you need to receive God’s full and freeing forgiveness?

  • How does Jesus’s fulfillment of the Day of Atonement transform our understanding of holiness today?

  • What would it look like for our church to live as a community shaped by mercy, cleansing, and renewal?
