In ancient Israel there was an annual ritual in which the sins of the people were pronounced upon a goat, and the goat was driven away, hence the term scapegoat. Do you smile and roll your eyes at this practice? Do you think that this custom is still practiced? It is, although it doesn’t involve a goat. The term is currently applied to people. Have you ever seen one group pronounce the sins of the world upon another group or person? This is still a common practice even if they aren’t able to drive that group into the wilderness. Have you ever done this yourself? Upon what group or person do you pronounce the sins of the world?
