Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We find the meaning of the word 'atonement' in the word itself: at-one-ment. The act of atonement is to make us one, or right, with God. Being human, we all sin and fall short of God's glory. There are even cases, like the one described here, in which there is no one, seemingly, to blame for what has happened. In those cases, atonement needs to be made. We no longer have to take a bull that has never been worked to the stream, etc. We only need to pray and let God know we are sorry and ask for forgiveness. In doing so we atone for our sins and make ourselves one, or right, with God. God bless you.
