Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, was repeated every year because even after the children of Israel were cleansed—their sins covered—they would sin again and need atonement once more.
As Christians, we know that Christ made a sacrifice once for all. But if we are honest with ourselves, we repent of our sin, we partake of communion, we receive forgiveness for sin—but then we often go back and stumble again. So, we need something more than just forgiveness. This “something more” is what we look for in the fulfillment of the Day of Atonement.
