This week we discussed the role of Priestly Garments and how they were necessary for
leading God’s people and foreshadowing the coming Messiah. While this section of
Scripture may not be the most riveting for the modern-day reader, we see the great deal
that God reveals in order that we will understand the importance of the text. God not only
wanted his place of worship, the Tabernacle, to be built according to his instructions but
also wanted the priests to minister according to His plan as well. Throughout these two
chapters in Exodus, we learn how God wanted His priests to dress and to be set apart in
order to minister on His behalf. God takes worship and ministry seriously and desires that
His instructions be followed. Ultimately, we learn that Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest, is
the fulfillment of everything that is being foreshadowed in this text. May your understand
of God’s Word grow this week as you discover his plans for Priestly Garments and the way
in which they are called to serve the Lord.
