Expiation
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Leviticus 16:15-16  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The killing of the LORD'S goat and sprinkling its blood on the mercy seat pictured the method by which humans can be reconciled to God—through the sacrifice of an innocent victim (Hebrews 9:12-14). Christ was that victim. He voluntarily took our guilt with Him on His cross, paying the penalty in full. Our guilt is expiated, atoned for; it ceases to exist if we accept Christ as our Savior and quit sinning (Romans 3:23-26). The sins of the people were borne by the goat even as Christ bore our sins on His cross (Hebrews 9:28). But Christ rose from the dead, ascended to the throne of God in heaven and shall return.
