Scapegoat Pet Food

Monday, April 29, 2024

I knew a lady who used to keep a store of food for squirrels by her window. The squirrels always showed up. As a child, I would sneak food under the table to my dog, and my dog was always there waiting. Goats are also animals, and on the day of Yom Kippur the scapegoat received the sins of the people and then was to be taken out and never seen again. You know how some parks have "no feeding" signs? We need to know that, too. No feeding the scapegoat or it will come back for more. The past sins are past, in Messiah they're taken away. All those negative things from the past, that guilt or regret- stop dwelling on them. When you dwell on them, you're feeding that scapegoat. Stop feeding that temptation and it will go away. If it's been given to Messiah, it's gone. Stop feeding the scapegoat with all your sins or the sins of others. Remember when you're tempted to dwell on them, that in the Lord there's a big sign: No Feeding the Scapegoat.
