Bibledoorajar: Do the clothes make the man?

We have spent a good deal of time thinking about the clothing which God commanded for the priests of  Israel to wear. It was all designed to make the family of Aaron realize yet again the significance of their birth into the family who had been privileged to serve. Their dress brought glory and honor to the Lord. However, each and every one born to that privilege had to be consecrated before he could serve. Seven days of ceremonies that included sacrifices were required to complete the consecration of Israel's priests. The ceremony involved carefully washing the priests elect with water in order that they might be sanctified. Next, every priest-elect laid hands on the animals who would shed their blood (a bullock and two rams) so that all of them would identify with the importance of the shed blood (justification).
Aaron and his sons were also anointed with a spiced oil that was fragrant to smell and a wonderful reminder of the Lord and His goodness. Have you experienced Jesus in this way?  Have you been born again and are you enjoying "His Name is as ointment poured forth". The writer of Hebrews asks you to consider Him, the oil poured forth, and accept that you are partakers in the heavenly calling of being a priest unto God fully sanctified and justified. All because we have confessed the Lordship and High Priest calling of Christ who gave his precious blood for us.

                     Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
                     Thy Name is As Ointment Poured Forth
                     Thy Name is As Ointment Poured Forth

                     We love Thee With All of Our Heart
                      Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
                      We love Thee With All of Our Heart
                      We love Thee With All of Our  Heart"
