Exodus 39-40 /Leviticus 1-2

The closing chapters of Exodus highlights the importance of the priestly attire, and the setting up of the Tabernacle. Leviticus picks up after the tabernacle has been in place and God gives the laws in how to properly worship him. So we have the priest and what he is to do to enter the holy of hollies, which reminded me of Hebrews 9:11
¹¹When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. ¹²He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

It is so amazing to me to see how God was setting up for the coming of his son Jesus Christ as the ultimate high priest, with the laws he gives his people. In the first chapter of Leviticus we read of the unblemished sacrifice that is to be made to God, so they will be accepted by the LORD. In Hebrews 9:13-14
¹³The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. ¹⁴How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

So we have Jesus as our ultimate high Priest, and He is to be the ultimate sacrifice that will allow God's people to be accepted by Him. That sacrifice was an act of worship, and when you look at the life of Jesus Christ, nobody worship better than he did, even to the point of becoming the actual sacrifice. Reading these chapters has really opened my eyes to God's plan for a savior.

prayer: My Loving Father, you are truly amazing! My heart cries out for your Holy spirit to pour into my life your grace today. Thank you for your Son Jesus Christ who is our High Priest, and the Sacrifice in which we can now come before your throne. Help me to worship you the way your son does, help me to be more like my High priest Jesus, and hlp me to make my life a living sacrifice to you. in Jesus name, Amen.
