OUR SUBSTITUTION by Pastor Scott Henry
“Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the...
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL by CH Spurgeon
