When we suffer injustice we can be so desperate for a scapegoat that we end up pouring all our contempt and blame on God, the only Person who is utterly innocent, truly cares for us and has the solutions we crave. The amazing thing is that this very Person actually volunteered to be our scapegoat. The term scapegoat has entered modern language via the Bible. In an annual religious ceremony, two innocent goats were chosen. One was killed for the peoples sins. The sins of the entire nation were placed on the other. It was then driven into the wilderness; ostracized because of the peoples sins. This peculiar custom was instituted by God himself to prepare the people for the fact that one day the Messiah would come, the innocent Son of God, and become the scapegoat for the sins of the entire world.
