Aaron was High Priest of Israel but oh how he failed Israel when the talk of the calf erupted. Where was the sacred influence he could have had on the misled people? Could he have not called them back to the system of worship that God had placed with he and the Levites? Could he have not reminded them of the awesomeness of their God and the benefits they enjoyed? Could he not have acted from the dignified position of his office? But maybe that was the trouble, his dignity was from an office and was not personal. The writer of Hebrews makes it plain that our Redeemer's mediation and His person is so great that the glory of the most noble angels wains in comparison. Set your heart on these verses:
"Being so much better than the angels inasmuch as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they" Hebrews 1: 4
" For unto which of the angels said He ever, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" Hebrews 1: 5
"and let all the angels of God worship him." Hebrews 1:6 AMEN
