The Scapegoat
“We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own
way; and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all ”
Isaiah 53:6 NIV
I n the sixteenth chapter of
Leviticus, God tells the Israelites
that they must offer particular
sacrifices in order to receive God’s
forgiveness. One of those sacrifices is
the scapegoat, which bears the sins of
the community and is then sent into
the wilderness: “When Aaron has
finished making atonement for the
Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting
and the altar, he shall bring forward
the live goat. He is to lay both hands
on the head of the live goat and
confess over it all the wickedness and
rebellion of the Israelites—all their
sins—and put them on the goat’s
head. He shall send the goat away
into the wilderness in the care of
someone appointed for the task. The
goat will carry on itself all their sins
to a remote place; and the man shall
release it in the wilderness.”
(Leviticus 16:20-22 NIV) The notion
that we can put our sins on a
sacrificial animal and send it off into
the wilderness is strange but
intriguing. Like casting our burdens
upon the winds or the waters, the
scapegoat feels purifying to us.
Perhaps this is why it feels so good
and so cathartic to confess our sins;
we can finally let go of them. We do
well to remember also that for
Christians Jesus is the ultimate
scapegoat, the sinless victim who
takes all of our sins upon himself and
is then cast out into the figurative
wilderness via his crucifixion.
Consider how you might cast off your
sins, both literally and figuratively, by
confessing them.
