The type was beautiful, but how much more beautiful the antitype! When the sinner lays his sins on Christ, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world," those sins are hidden, covered by the blood of Christ. 12 They are all recorded in the books in heaven; 13 but the blood of the Saviour covers them, and if he who sinned is faithful to God, they will never be revealed, but will finally be destroyed in the fires of the last day. The most wonderful part is that God himself says he will cast them behind His back 15 and will not remember them. Why need any one carry the burden of sins when we have such a merciful Saviour waiting to receive them?
