Fast, Pray, Repent

"For?God?so?loved?the world, that he gave his only begotten?Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
All of God's Feast Days have a meaning. They are memorials to bring us to remembrance of God's plan for us and what's to come. Do you know the meaning of The Day of Atonement? It's the reconciliation of God the Father and humankind through Jesus Christ. We are reconciled by his blood and saved by his life. Jesus the sacrificial lamb is the atonement for our sins.
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5
You shall afflict your soul by fasting, no food or drink. We suffer a little discomfort but one day a year in remembrance of the pain and suffering of Jesus Christ. There can be no comparison in the many stripes Jesus endured before his death. There shall be no servile work, only praise and thanksgiving for him who suffered for our sins.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the?Son of?God, who?loved?me, and gave himself for me." - Galatians 2:20
