Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Leviticus 8-9 together. These two chapters especially show us that we can only draw near to the holy God through our great high priest. We saw that the high priest was clothed in glorious, beautiful garments from head to toe. The high priest in his beautiful robes is a shadow of Jesus Christ, our true and final High Priest who shines in His own glory and righteousness. We also saw that the priest has two main roles: offering sacrifices and interceding for God’s people. Again, this points us forward to Jesus Christ, who has offered the final sacrifice for our sins and ever lives to intercede for us. Why does all of this matter? It reminds us of the beauty and glory of Jesus Christ. It is only as we know Jesus more and more that we will be able to fight against sin and grow in godliness in our lives. This week, take some time to re-read Leviticus 8-9 and Hebrews 7-8. As you do, thank God for the perfect work of Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest.
