Ministering Priests

This week we discussed the role of Priestly Garments and how they were necessary for

leading God’s people and foreshadowing the coming Messiah. While this section of

Scripture may not be the most riveting for the modern-day reader, we see the great deal

that God reveals in order that we will understand the importance of the text. God not only

wanted his place of worship, the Tabernacle, to be built according to his instructions but

also wanted the priests to minister according to His plan as well. Throughout these two

chapters in Exodus, we learn how God wanted His priests to dress and to be set apart in

order to minister on His behalf. God takes worship and ministry seriously and desires that

His instructions be followed. Ultimately, we learn that Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest, is

the fulfillment of everything that is being foreshadowed in this text. May your understand

of God’s Word grow this week as you discover his plans for Priestly Garments and the way

in which they are called to serve the Lord.
