Today’s blog
post is going to be short and to the point.
The chapter is all about finishing up the work of the Lord. I find it interesting that immediately
following the rebellion of the golden calf we have what is perhaps the greatest
moment of obedience in this generation.
God can use our circumstances to bring about change and good things.
That’s not
what I want to address today, though. Do
you notice that on this last day we focus on the priestly outfit? Do you see what is central to this
outfit? The priests are to always
remember and serve with their mind on the people of God. Ministry and mission is about bringing people
into relationship with God and then helping them stay there.
In my heart,
this strikes a deep chord. I am all
about discipleship. I am all about
helping people find a relationship with God and then helping that relationship
grow and stay strong. That is in essence
what the priesthood is all about in its core.
It is good to find such a discipleship centered message this far back in
the Old Testament.
