I hope by now, we all realize that no one from the tribe of Levi would have ever been a consecrated priest if it were not for the work God did through Moses. It was Moses who received the commands as to what was to be appropriately done and it was through the hands of Moses that most of the work was accomplished. While Aaron and his sons stood passive, Moses saw that they were "taken" from the rest of the children of Israel, that they were "brought" to the door of the tabernacle, that they were "washed" and made clean, that they were "clothed" appropriately, that they were "anointed" and that their hands were "filled" and lastly that they were sanctified. This was all accomplished through the works of Moses. It was even Moses who brought the animal sacrifices to them that they all "touched".
Reading this and remembering verses like " For Christ also hath suffered once for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God" 1 Peter 3:18). Why? That we, once anointed and filled with the Spirit, might proclaim what we have seen and heard in our own lives and have fellowship with each other as we have fellowship with the Trinity. Thank You, thank You. As Sister Sledge says "get up everybody and sing!!!!
I have a good friend who reminds me that we serve an awesome God when I share something praise worthy with her. Indeed. If you are wondering about our anointing so that our hands can be filled, join our discussion next week and never forget all that has been done for you by the One who loves you.
