Episode 6: Casting Off Sins

See this content in the original post

We help Christians make sense of their roots so they can help the Jewish people make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

What do you do with your sins? 

Since the beginning, man has been in search of something to do with sin. From the account in Act One with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) in the garden, to the story of Ananias and Saphira (Acts 5) in Act Two, our first response is to hide from others, but especially an All-Knowing God.

During these "Days Of Awe," the 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement, the Jewish community symbolically casts their sins into the depths of the sea. 

You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate the redemptive story that is taking place in this season. In fact, we believe this will enhance and grow your faith in a God who has already cast our sins into the depths of the sea. 

Who is a God like You, who pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy.
He will again take pity on us;
He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will cast all their sins
Into the depths of the sea.

- Micah 7:18-19
