We think of a scapegoat as someone who takes the blame for someone else. That's the opposite of what we see in scripture about scapegoats. They're actually the ones who go free after another goat is sacrificed in their place. Or do they really go free? Considering the burdens they bear, one wonders which of the two goats is truly the free one.

Lev 26:3 ‘If you walk in My laws and guard My commands, and shall do them,
Lev 26:4 then I shall give you rain in its season, and the land shall yield its crops, and the trees of the field yield their fruit.
Lev 26:5 ‘And your threshing shall last till the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last till the time of sowing. And you shall eat your bread until you have enough, and shall dwell in your land safely.
Lev 26:6 ‘And I shall give peace in the land, and you shall lie down and no one make you afraid. And I shall clear the land of evil beasts, and not let the sword go through your land.

If you see this on your table in the morning, you’re off to a good start. #shabbatshalom
What a beautiful Sabbath morning!
Hi there, I did not grow up in an anabaptist family, but when I began looking for things for homeschooling in the early 90s I ran across many things that mentioned it. I then ordered Martyrs Mirror and started studying anabaptism. This led me to messianic studies believe it or not LOL. I ended up visiting a penpal friend I had from Lancaster County, PA for passover in 2000. Three months later myself, my hubby an dour three kids were living here. We attended a messianic community in Harrisburg for a time but later moved to a neighborhood that had a very small mennonite church, we attended there for 11 years , leading several passover seders which was wonderful.
Fast forward to not, and my husband has left the faith altogether, my children are grown and scattered in the faith. :0( But! we have a very good marriage and he does not come against anything I do. I attend a non denominational church, keep Torah (yes, all of it including wearing tzitzit) , and have great joy in watching what God is doing in the community I live in (amish) and worship with (non-denom... oh, and we just celebrated Passover for the second year!). My heart is still very anabaptist ....and I reconcile all of this with the knowledge that I am right where God wants me.
Sorry this is so long :)
