The Iniquity Of The Priesthood.

 

Today's Verse is Numbers 18:1

And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 

    Bear the iniquity of . . . I marvel at this phrase in regard to those that were to be Priests of the Most High God, who calls us to be Holy, for He is Holy. This says that to be a Priest, or even to be a Levite, was to be no small thing, but that there was a terrible responsibility, that goes with it. For this cause they were to be held to a higher standard, even when we have been taught, we can’t even keep or live up to the standard God has given to every man. But we see Jesus, who came and fulfilled the Law of God, then bore the iniquity of us all. Even as he took our place upon the Cross bearing the iniquity of all, that whosoever will, will be made whole before the Righteous Holy Judge. So then, How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him[.] Will you, therefore, rest in this Gift? Amen.

To God be the Glory
