IN THIS LESSON

Paul says, “God presented Christ as the Mercy Seat” in verse 25. What does that mean? He also states that through the shedding of His blood, God demonstrated His righteousness. Is God an angry and bloodthirsty deity who cannot be satisfied without the blood of an innocent victim? If that is the case, can we truly call God righteous?
