1John 2:2 meaning, under His blood, our peace

Through His Blood
Our Peace

1John 2:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (KJV)

Propitiation is from the Greek noun hilasmos, also meaning appeasement or placation.

The Price
The ceremonial sacrifices under the Mosaic law could only temporarily cover over the sins of Israel, but could not permanently remove them because God's anger against us was not satisfied (Ps.7:11). The price to remove our sin was God's own son who alone became the acceptable sacrifice for my sins at Calvary (Heb.10:4-5).

The Place
God is now at peace with all men on earth but that peace is realized only in Christ, by those who receive Him by faith. For those who remain outside of Christ, God's wrath and the curse yet abide (Jn.3:36).

The Prophetic Shadow
In Leviticus 16:7-10, two goats were selected and presented by Aaron before the door of the tabernacles so all might see them. One goat was slain as a sin offering, declaring how the Son would become the sinless substitute sacrifice for my sin (Heb.9:22) (Is.53:4-6, 10-11). The other goat was the scapegoat which was presented alive before the Lord and then driven into the wilderness, representing how the resurrected Christ was proof that my sins have been removed from me as far as the east is from the west (Ps.103:12, Rom.4:25). Together, these goats prophetically and typologically represent how Jesus is the basis for both our peace with God and our holiness in His eyes (Rom.3:23-26).

The People
In Christ, the whole world is called be reconciled to God (Matt.28:18-19) and united together in the Body of Christ (Eph.2:16-19) based on his work of reconciliation at Calvary (Col.1:20-22).

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:14)
