Atonement
Leviticus 16:15-22 Atonement
May 24, 2015 D.
Marion Clark
Introduction
Jesus and his disciples continue their walk along the Emmaus
Road. He is interpreting to them the “things concerning himself” in Moses and
the Prophets, i.e. the Old Testament. He has demonstrated how he fulfilled the
expectation of being the Offspring of Eve who would strike the serpent’s head
while his own heel is struck. He has explained how he is the long looked-for
Redeemer who would redeem his people from bondage but with the twist of
purchasing their freedom with his blood. In each case the disciples would have
responded with something like, “Now we understand what we were expecting came
to be fulfilled.”

Student of the Month
So, I walk into the Board of Education of Putnam County meeting last night to give the invocation. One of the first items of business is to recognize the Student of the Month. It turned out to be Haily Housworth, the granddaughter of John and Marlene Housworth! Congratulations, proud Grandparents.
By the way, I will gladly post any and all boastings by parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

Introduction
We are continuing our walk along the Emmaus
Road. The two disciples used a particular word to describe the common Jewish
expectation of the Messiah: “we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel”
(Luke 24:21). Redeem is the primary term by which the Jews understood the
Messiah’s work.

Deacons at Work
It seems like everytime I come to church there are deacons working on some kind of project. Looks like they are pressure washing the walkways and driveways. There are two others I couldn't get in the picture.

A Father's Faith
Abbie DeLoach was one of the nursing students killed in the highway accident on April 22. Her cousin is Tara Rocker. Tara sent this news interview of Abbie's father Jimmie DeLoach. It is an uncut version and about 15 minutes long. He is a father comforted that another Father knows what it is to lose a child.

A Blessing
At the conclusion of the memorial service for Frank Kemp's daughter, Carol Williams, Frank spoke a few words and gave a benediction. I asked him if I could share his remarks.
Carol was my pride and joy. She was raised by three mothers. Her first mother was JoAnn Hardy Kemp, who died from breast cancer when Carol was eleven years old. Her grandmother, Irene MacKenzie Kemp, then also became her mother until I married Barbara Johnson Moore. Barb became Carol’s loving mother for thirty-three years until Barb went to be with the Lord. These loving ladies and I were responsible for helping create the natural loving kindness and righteousness which was in Carol’s heart. Her righteousness reminds me of an old Scottish blessing:

The First Prophecy
Genesis 3:15 The
First Prophecy
5/3/15 D.
Marion Clark
Introduction
On the road to Emmaus Jesus taught two of his disciples how
the Moses and the Prophets foretold his person and work. He later took all of
his disciples through a course on the Messiah in the Scriptures. They had not
recognized him because they had not understood the Scriptures. We will take
time for five Sundays to examine a portion of what he would have taken them
through.
