Rev. Joel Shaltanis, pastor of Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Plano, Texas, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 28.
“Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment on his heart, when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them to regular remembrance before the LORD.” It’s not all about the priests. Exodus 28 shows that worship is an activity of the whole people of Israel, and that through the high priest, every one of the twelve tribes enters into the holy place as gemstones precious to God. The important thing isn’t human decision, but God’s gracious provision and revelation, just as He provided Jesus the High Priest for us—in a humble form that we would never have chosen ourselves.
