The Bible Project: Sacrifice and Atonement

Have you ever wondered what the deal is with baptism? And what's the story with The Lord's Supper? Flesh and blood? Huh? This fully animated video dives into all of these questions (and more) and details the purpose behind the rituals of the Christian faith. Since the garden, mankind has warred between a desire for peace and a compulsion to reject that peace and wreak havoc instead. Animal sacrifice, and then the ultimate sacrifice (Jesus), was needed in order to cover the consequences of evil on earth. Now, church communities take part in baptism and communion to encourage us to live like Jesus, and to transform us by having relationship with Him.
