WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:25.719
 seated. Well, good morning. Again, it is warm. I see the fans and the bulletins flapping.

00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:33.200
 Just so you can know, there are fan zones. If you are not in a fan zone and you are feeling like you

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.320
 are dying, go ahead and get up now and move to a fan zone so that you can feel the breeze and stay

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.259
 awake and stay alert for the next few minutes. If you need to get up and take a glass of water or

00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:50.280
 the water fountain out by the bathroom in the back, please feel free to do that in the middle

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:56.260
 of my sermon. I promise I won't be offended. And please know that as well, there's downstairs,

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:02.260
 I think, is still a little cooler. Alex, is that right? Yes? A little bit. Not a lot, but a little

00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:07.780
 bit. So if you just need a different space to get up, you may go downstairs and there's speakers down

00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:13.460
 there and you'll be able to hear the sermon well from there. So in the next little while, we want

00:01:13.459 --> 00:01:19.579
 you to be as comfortable as possible so that you can listen to God's Word. Because this is,

00:01:19.919 --> 00:01:26.599
 as we gather, the central thing in many ways about what we do is to listen to what God has

00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:34.539
 to say to us. So let me encourage you to take those steps as we get started this morning.

00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:43.960
 We are in a series in the book of Exodus. And if you would like to turn there, you may turn there

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:56.360
 with me. Page 68 is in the Pew Bibles. As you're turning there, I want to ask you a question.

00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:05.340
 If you could walk into God's throne room, what would be your default understanding of God?

00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:13.680
 We often, I think, fall into one of two camps. And for those kids in the room, I'm going to teach you

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:20.699
 two really big words right now. The first one, the first camp is that we focus on God's transcendence.

00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:27.780
 What does transcendence mean? My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty. It means that God is high

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:39.379
 and exalted and beyond us in His greatness and in His glory. He's untouchable and unreachable. That's

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:46.659
 transcendence. And often I think we focus on this, His majesty and His power, His sovereignty and His

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:55.740
 creator role that is other than the creation in which we live. His holiness, His moral purity and His

00:02:55.740 --> 00:03:07.560
 judgment make a transcendent God unapproachable and terrifying. But some of us perhaps think of God by

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:15.120
 focusing on His imminence. Imminence means that He is close by or approachable or near to us.

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.860
 We focus on the fact that God has made Himself known, that God is with us. You know the old

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:28.219
 Bible song, Jesus is a friend, is a friend next to you. Jesus is a friend, is a friend. La la. Nope.

00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:34.360
 Okay. I just dated myself, didn't I? So if you haven't heard that one, you need to sign up for a

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:40.280
 vacation Bible school or go off to Christian camp somewhere so you can pick it up. This sense that

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:47.159
 Jesus, that God is familiar to us, that He is close to us, that He is a friend and that in doing so,

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.860
 and that God in His mercy and grace is approachable and accepting.

00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.680
 And I think the reality is that most of us have a default of one or the other.

00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:04.680
 If I looked at our broad church culture, generally I think we lean towards the second.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.280
 God is very familiar and approachable to us, and we lack a valuing of His holiness.

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:18.540
 But for each of us, because of your own story, because of your own background, both in church

00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:24.019
 and in your own family, you may be on either side of this spectrum.

00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:32.740
 But I want you to think about it because as you consider this, our default view of how God is

00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:40.120
 then affects how we think we can or cannot approach Him, and how we worship Him, and how we serve Him.

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:45.759
 And we tend towards one or the other, and yet what we see in the Bible and what we have seen already

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.959
 in the book of Exodus is that the Bible affirms both. God is both a transcendent, high, exalted,

00:04:52.959 --> 00:05:02.579
 holy God, and a God who has come down to be with His people, to be known, and to know, and to be amongst them.

00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:10.699
 We've seen it. His transcendence is shown in things like His power in the ten plagues when He judged Egypt

00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:16.459
 and showed His great judgment against sin and His great power over the created order.

00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:24.019
 How He traveled with His people in a pillar of smoke and fire that was terrifying and unapproachable.

00:05:25.419 --> 00:05:31.779
 How when Moses went up to the top of the mountain, the glory descended, and it was like lightning and thunder

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:36.979
 and a storm beyond, and the people shrank back in fear and said,

00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.240
 we can't go up there. Moses, you go for us.

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:48.579
 Moses. And yet, this same story of Exodus has also had God meeting with Moses at the burning bush.

00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:54.699
 We've seen God meeting with Moses on the mountain face to face.

00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:01.920
 And we've seen back in chapter 19 the incredible promise that God will take this people

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.579
 and having delivered them from Egypt, make them His people.

00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:11.379
 And He will be their God and He will dwell in their midst.

00:06:12.419 --> 00:06:17.620
 This high and exalted, transcendent God will actually live among the people of God.

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.740
 And as we've been just recently talking about, if you were here last week,

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:27.579
 in chapters 25 through 31, we have the picture of the tabernacle,

00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:33.959
 which is this portable worship center, basically, for God's people to worship Him.

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:43.299
 And the very picture that Nick painted of this is that this tabernacle had the amazing good news

00:06:43.299 --> 00:06:47.459
 that God would actually, His glory would come and dwell in the midst of His people.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.459
 And yet, that dwelling had curtains and layers and all these barriers

00:06:54.459 --> 00:07:02.579
 because a holy God cannot be casually addressed, cannot be casually walked up into.

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:04.799
 Why is this?

00:07:08.799 --> 00:07:10.099
 Try to make it through.

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.359
 Because God is a holy God.

00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.659
 The Bible describes Him as being an unapproachable light

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:21.380
 or having a purity that is white as snow,

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.900
 having the purity of a clean water.

00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:30.320
 And when in our sinfulness,

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.480
 in our imperfection, both morally and personally,

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:38.720
 we try to interact with this purity,

00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:43.140
 all we do is besmirch such holiness.

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.639
 We soil His purity.

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:47.879
 We ruin His perfection.

00:07:50.180 --> 00:07:53.379
 And so, sin is this defilement of a holy God.

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.240
 It is incompatible with God.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.319
 And it results in judgment.

00:08:02.419 --> 00:08:05.159
 Like approaching a fire too closely,

00:08:05.419 --> 00:08:06.560
 you get burned.

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.439
 So, in our sinfulness,

00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:10.879
 as we approach the fire of God's holiness,

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.240
 we find that judgment is the appropriate response

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.300
 for our imperfection.

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:22.240
 And so, this then leaves us with a great dilemma, doesn't it?

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.120
 And this is what God is answering

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.220
 in this section on the tabernacle

00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:28.319
 and indeed in this greater story in Exodus

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.180
 of God calling His people to be His people

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:33.180
 is how is it that God,

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:35.039
 the Holy Transcendent One,

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:37.759
 can have communion or fellowship

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.139
 or be with a sinful people like us?

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.180
 How is it possible

00:08:43.180 --> 00:08:45.580
 that we could approach God

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:47.980
 and that He could dwell in our midst?

00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.639
 And this brings us to our text this morning.

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.820
 Chapters 28 and 29.

00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.180
 Again, Nick mentioned last…

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:58.500
 or Nick preached last week

00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.820
 on the tabernacle,

00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:02.740
 the building in which all of this happened.

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:07.399
 But what we see is that

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.539
 in the midst of the building,

00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:11.500
 God has provided something else

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:12.659
 for us to understand.

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:13.519
 No, I'm good, thanks.

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.100
 God has given us something else

00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:18.139
 so that we can understand

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:19.620
 how it is that His people

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.899
 may interact with Him,

00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:21.960
 a holy God,

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.299
 and that is the priesthood.

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.299
 God has provided one

00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:26.940
 to stand in the gap

00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:28.320
 between a holy God

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.460
 and sinful people

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:32.020
 to be a priesthood for us.

00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:34.440
 So we're going to look at

00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.220
 the nature of the priesthood today.

00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:37.680
 We're going to look at

00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:38.740
 what these two chapters

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:39.680
 tell us about it

00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:41.120
 and we're going to think about

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.340
 what it means for us.

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:44.620
 So if you want to follow along with me,

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:46.480
 I'm going to read three sections.

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:47.780
 I'm not going to read

00:09:47.780 --> 00:09:48.620
 the whole two chapters.

00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:50.280
 I promise, good heavens,

00:09:50.380 --> 00:09:51.280
 we'd be here till noon.

00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:53.920
 We're going to read two sections,

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.399
 the beginning of chapter 28,

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.979
 the beginning of chapter 29,

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:58.719
 and the very end of chapter 29,

00:09:59.059 --> 00:10:00.639
 just so you can get the shape

00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:01.219
 of what it is.

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:03.099
 Broadly, chapter 28

00:10:03.099 --> 00:10:04.519
 is about the garments

00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.500
 that the priest would wear

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:08.799
 and chapter 29

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.439
 is about the process

00:10:10.439 --> 00:10:12.299
 of the consecration

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:13.959
 or the setting apart

00:10:13.959 --> 00:10:16.079
 of Aaron and his sons

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:18.139
 to actually be the priesthood.

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:19.199
 So broadly,

00:10:19.339 --> 00:10:20.339
 that's what these two chapters

00:10:20.339 --> 00:10:20.779
 are about.

00:10:21.699 --> 00:10:22.500
 Let me read

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:23.379
 and then we'll pray

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:24.419
 and then we'll dive in

00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:25.879
 and see what this has to teach us.

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.899
 So Exodus 28, chapter 1.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:32.879
 Then bring near to you

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.000
 Aaron, your brother,

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:35.779
 and his sons with him

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:37.799
 from among the people of Israel

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.580
 to serve me as priests,

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.059
 Aaron and Aaron's sons,

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.679
 Nadab and Abihu,

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.259
 Eleazar and Ithamar.

00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:47.240
 And you shall make holy garments

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.100
 for Aaron, your brother,

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:51.000
 for glory and for beauty.

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.019
 You shall speak

00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:54.200
 to all the skillful

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.639
 whom I have filled

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.940
 with a spirit of skill

00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:59.759
 that they make Aaron's garment

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.139
 to consecrate him

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:02.440
 for my priesthood.

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.019
 These are the garments

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.019
 that they shall make,

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.340
 a breast piece,

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:07.500
 an ephod,

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.600
 a robe,

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.700
 a coat of checker work,

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:11.519
 a turban,

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:12.799
 and a sash.

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:15.279
 They shall make holy garments

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.519
 for Aaron, your brother,

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.340
 and his sons

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:19.139
 to serve me as priests.

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:21.319
 They shall receive gold,

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.919
 blue and purple

00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.159
 and scarlet yarns

00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.939
 and fine twisted linen.

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:32.120
 And flip with me

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.620
 to the beginning of chapter 29

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:35.139
 and the consecration.

00:11:36.199 --> 00:11:37.659
 Now this is what you shall do

00:11:37.659 --> 00:11:38.559
 to them,

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:39.899
 to consecrate them,

00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.379
 that they may serve me

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:42.039
 as priests.

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:43.980
 Take one bull of the herd

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:44.879
 and two rams

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.039
 without blemish,

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.799
 an unleavened bread,

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.779
 unleavened cake

00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:49.779
 mixed with oil

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:50.959
 and unleavened wafers

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:51.959
 smeared with oil.

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:53.259
 You shall make them

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.559
 of fine wheat flour.

00:11:55.079 --> 00:11:55.699
 You shall put them

00:11:55.699 --> 00:11:56.419
 in one basket

00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:57.099
 and bring them

00:11:57.099 --> 00:11:57.759
 in the basket

00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:58.459
 and you shall bring

00:11:58.459 --> 00:11:59.659
 the bull and the two rams.

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:01.199
 You shall bring Aaron

00:12:01.199 --> 00:12:02.019
 and his sons

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:02.860
 to the entrance

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.899
 of the tent of meeting

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:05.439
 and wash them with water.

00:12:06.099 --> 00:12:06.939
 Then you shall take

00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:07.659
 the garments

00:12:07.659 --> 00:12:09.159
 and put on Aaron

00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.240
 the coat and the robe

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.000
 and the ephod

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.019
 and the ephod

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:15.100
 and the breast piece

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:15.980
 and gird him

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:17.259
 with the skillfully woven

00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:19.559
 band of the ephod.

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:20.799
 And you shall set

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.919
 the turban on his head

00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.600
 and you put the holy crown

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.500
 on the turban.

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:25.879
 You shall take

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.879
 the anointing oil

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.340
 and pour it on his head

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:29.159
 and anoint him.

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:30.740
 Then you shall bring

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.320
 his sons

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.559
 and put coats on them

00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.120
 and you shall gird Aaron

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:34.960
 and his sons

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.659
 with sashes

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:37.259
 and bind caps on them.

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.519
 And the priesthood

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.279
 shall be theirs

00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:40.980
 by a statute forever.

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.480
 Thus you shall ordain

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.940
 Aaron and his sons.

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:47.019
 And then flip to me

00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:47.940
 to the very end.

00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.240
 God restates his purpose

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.159
 in doing all this.

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.139
 Starting in verse 44

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:54.179
 of chapter 29.

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.720
 I will consecrate

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.659
 the tent of meeting

00:12:57.659 --> 00:12:58.919
 and the altar.

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.500
 Aaron also

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:01.200
 and his sons

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.139
 I will consecrate

00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:03.539
 to serve me as priests.

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.480
 I will dwell

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:06.899
 among the people of Israel

00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:08.500
 and will be their God

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.960
 and they shall know

00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.080
 that I am the Lord

00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:11.680
 their God

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:12.820
 who brought them

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:13.940
 out of the land of Egypt

00:13:13.940 --> 00:13:15.519
 that I might dwell

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:16.379
 among them.

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:18.300
 I am the Lord

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:19.220
 their God.

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.620
 Please pray with me.

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.840
 Lord as we look

00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:30.340
 into your word

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:30.900
 this morning

00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:32.400
 we pray you help us

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:33.820
 on this hot day

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:36.240
 to listen well

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.000
 to your word

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.080
 and to learn of you.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.539
 Lord I pray

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:40.279
 for your help.

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.700
 Lord that your word

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:42.419
 might be clear

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:43.259
 and that together

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.299
 we might marvel

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:46.039
 in the greatness

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.940
 of not only

00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:48.720
 your holiness

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.500
 but also

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:50.759
 of the grace

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.600
 that you have shown

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.580
 giving us means

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.259
 that we might

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:54.379
 have fellowship

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:54.879
 with you.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:56.399
 We pray this

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.220
 in Jesus name.

00:13:57.980 --> 00:13:58.379
 Amen.

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:58.519
 Amen.

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:06.379
 What do we learn?

00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.460
 As we're looking

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:08.779
 at this

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:09.720
 I just want to point out

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.840
 to you that in the bulletin

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:11.740
 if you haven't looked

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.320
 through it yet

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.100
 there is this lovely picture

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.240
 for those of you

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:15.820
 who have

00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:17.919
 reading glasses

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.779
 I'm sorry

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:19.519
 the type

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:20.460
 is really small

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:23.980
 it's what we could get

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.299
 so

00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:25.240
 I apologize

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.419
 for that not being

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:27.500
 as useful

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:29.139
 but what this does

00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:29.679
 is it gives you

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.219
 a picture

00:14:30.219 --> 00:14:30.919
 of everything

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.779
 that's talked about

00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:32.919
 in chapter 28

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.039
 and I just want

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:35.899
 to point it out now

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.479
 because I'm not going

00:14:37.479 --> 00:14:38.219
 to be reading

00:14:38.219 --> 00:14:39.219
 through the sections

00:14:39.219 --> 00:14:39.740
 but I'm going

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.500
 to be referring

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:41.299
 to verses

00:14:41.299 --> 00:14:42.539
 and aspects

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.979
 of the priestly garments

00:14:43.979 --> 00:14:45.740
 as part of

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:46.740
 what I want to do

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.779
 is look at the nature

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.620
 of the priesthood

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.339
 both in terms

00:14:49.339 --> 00:14:50.019
 of its garments

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.759
 and in terms

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.139
 of its

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:53.179
 their consecration

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:54.679
 so that we can learn

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:55.319
 a little bit

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:56.539
 about what it means

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:58.359
 for these priests

00:14:58.359 --> 00:15:00.099
 to play a mediating role

00:15:00.099 --> 00:15:01.500
 between a holy God

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.339
 and a sinful man

00:15:02.339 --> 00:15:03.659
 how is it that they

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:04.639
 take up this role

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:05.679
 and how is it that

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.319
 they are a blessing

00:15:06.319 --> 00:15:07.279
 to God's people

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:08.859
 so let's look at that

00:15:08.859 --> 00:15:09.679
 there are four things

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.539
 I want to point out

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:11.179
 this morning

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:13.059
 about the priesthood

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:14.419
 the first thing

00:15:14.419 --> 00:15:15.239
 I want you to see

00:15:15.239 --> 00:15:15.919
 and you see this

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:16.399
 in verses

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.019
 1 through 4

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.139
 of chapter 28

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:20.419
 is that

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:22.220
 the priesthood

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.379
 was God's plan

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:24.439
 remember Moses

00:15:24.439 --> 00:15:25.519
 has gone back up

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.080
 onto the mountain

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:26.899
 and God is now

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:27.899
 giving him further

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:28.580
 instruction

00:15:28.580 --> 00:15:29.840
 on how they are

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.220
 to live as God's people

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.699
 and he's instructed them

00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.799
 on this building

00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:34.720
 they're supposed to make

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.319
 this movable tent

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:38.159
 and then in verse 28

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.600
 he just launches

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.240
 into it

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.039
 remember that the priesthood

00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:43.480
 is not man's idea

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.980
 it was not Moses

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:45.960
 thinking hey

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:47.240
 I think there's a problem

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.700
 here God

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.700
 and I've got a solution

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:50.300
 God was the one

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:51.840
 who set aside

00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.300
 Aaron and his sons

00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:55.060
 and here's a remarkable thing

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:55.879
 Moses

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.120
 after the tabernacle

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:58.980
 was put together

00:15:58.980 --> 00:15:59.840
 and consecrated

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.320
 Moses couldn't go in

00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.820
 that wasn't his place anymore

00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:04.940
 Moses was actually

00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:06.420
 he had a different role

00:16:06.420 --> 00:16:07.440
 to meet with God

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:08.620
 at the tent of meeting

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:10.200
 but he couldn't go in

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.680
 to the holy of holies

00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:13.020
 his job was not

00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:13.820
 as a priest

00:16:13.820 --> 00:16:15.080
 in the same way

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.000
 it's a fascinating

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.360
 recognition

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.600
 that when God

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.259
 ordained this

00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:20.000
 he actually brought

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.779
 Aaron in

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.919
 and his tribe

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.320
 to take this place

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:24.600
 and to play this role

00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.060
 and what you see

00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:28.419
 look at verse 41

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:30.340
 of chapter 28

00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:33.320
 nope

00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:34.720
 yep

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.860
 verse 41

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:38.000
 of chapter 28

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.440
 and you shall put

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.620
 them on Aaron

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:41.139
 your brother

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:41.860
 and on his sons

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:42.500
 and you shall

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.480
 anoint them

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.740
 and ordain them

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:46.240
 and consecrate them

00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.919
 anoint them

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.940
 means that they are

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:50.100
 marked with God

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:51.419
 but with oil

00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:53.019
 and for a special role

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:54.860
 to ordain them

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:56.700
 is to commission them

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:57.500
 to a particular

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:59.379
 place of service

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:01.139
 and to consecrate them

00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:02.879
 is to set them apart

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.559
 these priests

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.019
 now have a role

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:07.940
 that is distinct

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:09.160
 from all the other

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:09.920
 peoples

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:11.339
 within God's

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:13.140
 within God's people

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:14.360
 they have now

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:15.160
 a special

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:16.560
 a special role

00:17:16.560 --> 00:17:17.120
 that God has

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:17.740
 called them to

00:17:17.740 --> 00:17:19.440
 to be fully devoted

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.460
 to this service

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.240
 of the Lord

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.940
 and to serve

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.780
 in the temple

00:17:23.780 --> 00:17:26.700
 and it's a remarkable

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:27.460
 thing that God

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:27.780
 has said

00:17:27.780 --> 00:17:28.600
 now I want

00:17:28.600 --> 00:17:29.340
 this chunk

00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:29.620
 of you

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.540
 to be set apart

00:17:30.540 --> 00:17:31.720
 for just this

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:32.740
 and nothing else

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:34.200
 and we see that

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.000
 as it plays out

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.620
 the Levites

00:17:35.620 --> 00:17:36.540
 don't have a land

00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:37.840
 because they serve

00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:38.300
 in the temple

00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:39.040
 and they have cities

00:17:39.040 --> 00:17:39.720
 and they're provided

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.000
 for by the other tribes

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.220
 and there are all sorts

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:42.779
 of ways in which

00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:43.920
 God has allowed them

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.880
 and set them apart

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.920
 to have a focus

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.319
 on this one role

00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.799
 and then on top of that

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.220
 look at 28

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:53.319
 verse 36

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.079
 for a minute

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.539
 as God is instructing

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.400
 them of the turban

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.579
 there is a crown

00:17:57.579 --> 00:17:57.880
 there

00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:58.799
 and that crown

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.599
 has emblazoned on it

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.619
 holy to the Lord

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:03.740
 is that what it says

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:04.339
 in the ESV

00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:06.619
 holy to the Lord

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:08.759
 which means

00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:09.619
 that the priest

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:10.279
 himself

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.979
 is being set apart

00:18:11.979 --> 00:18:12.799
 again holiness

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.259
 really means set apart

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:15.939
 it has a moral component

00:18:15.939 --> 00:18:16.719
 because God

00:18:16.719 --> 00:18:17.799
 in his moral perfection

00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.939
 is set apart

00:18:18.939 --> 00:18:19.339
 from us

00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:20.139
 but it's a broader

00:18:20.139 --> 00:18:20.839
 concept

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:22.639
 to simply be set apart

00:18:22.639 --> 00:18:23.599
 for God

00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.779
 and the priest

00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:26.159
 the high priest here

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:27.519
 Aaron is set apart

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.519
 and when he puts

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:29.979
 that thing on

00:18:29.979 --> 00:18:31.059
 he is set apart

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:32.439
 for God

00:18:32.439 --> 00:18:34.439
 to play this role

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.680
 and to do nothing else

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.340
 but to play that role

00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:42.580
 friends

00:18:42.580 --> 00:18:45.400
 what good news it is

00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:46.700
 that God

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:48.140
 has ordained

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:49.100
 this role

00:18:49.100 --> 00:18:49.860
 and this thing

00:18:49.860 --> 00:18:50.940
 that he has created

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.720
 this priesthood

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.340
 that he has graciously

00:18:53.340 --> 00:18:54.519
 seen the problem

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.700
 that we have

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:57.080
 of a sinful people

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:58.840
 approaching a holy God

00:18:58.840 --> 00:19:00.240
 and he has set apart

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.400
 people to play

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:02.720
 a role of mediation

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.960
 between us

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.299
 we should know

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:08.000
 that we cannot

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.319
 approach God

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:10.059
 casually

00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:11.960
 or on our own

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.620
 we ought to be

00:19:13.620 --> 00:19:14.100
 reinforced

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:15.160
 in our understanding

00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.039
 that we may not

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.240
 choose God

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.759
 simply on our own

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.240
 but that God

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.079
 calls

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:22.880
 and God

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.600
 invites

00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:24.380
 and God

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:25.299
 draws

00:19:25.299 --> 00:19:27.579
 and God

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:28.319
 makes us

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:28.960
 his people

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.880
 and what good news

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.620
 that is

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:34.479
 not only

00:19:34.479 --> 00:19:35.739
 is the priesthood

00:19:35.739 --> 00:19:36.579
 then set apart

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:37.219
 by God

00:19:37.219 --> 00:19:38.299
 but the priesthood

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:38.979
 is characterized

00:19:38.979 --> 00:19:40.679
 by beauty

00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:41.699
 and glory

00:19:41.699 --> 00:19:42.679
 you see this

00:19:42.679 --> 00:19:43.879
 in chapter 28

00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:44.479
 verse 2

00:19:44.479 --> 00:19:45.199
 which I read

00:19:45.199 --> 00:19:45.679
 earlier

00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:46.599
 and again

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.679
 in chapter 28

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:48.500
 verse 40

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:50.479
 you shall make them

00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:51.379
 for glory

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:52.739
 and for beauty

00:19:52.739 --> 00:19:56.079
 now when we

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:56.819
 unpack this

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.679
 we see all sorts

00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:58.059
 of things

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:58.819
 the colors

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.559
 purple

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.079
 gold

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.720
 blue

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.500
 are the colors

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.379
 of the tabernacle

00:20:03.379 --> 00:20:04.179
 these are colors

00:20:04.179 --> 00:20:04.899
 of royalty

00:20:04.899 --> 00:20:06.379
 and colors

00:20:06.379 --> 00:20:07.179
 of richness

00:20:07.179 --> 00:20:09.720
 and both the tabernacle

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:10.980
 and the priestly garments

00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:13.480
 are meant to reflect

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.299
 the richness

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:16.379
 and the beauty

00:20:16.379 --> 00:20:17.919
 of God himself

00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:19.579
 precious metals

00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:20.220
 are used

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:21.119
 over and over again

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:21.740
 in the making

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:23.059
 of this garment

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.740
 for them

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:25.399
 gold in particular

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:26.460
 is throughout

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:29.400
 precious stones

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:29.840
 are put

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:30.800
 on the breastplate

00:20:30.800 --> 00:20:33.340
 we see

00:20:33.340 --> 00:20:34.380
 that God

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:34.820
 uses

00:20:34.820 --> 00:20:35.300
 God

00:20:35.300 --> 00:20:36.040
 takes

00:20:36.040 --> 00:20:37.040
 the most precious

00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:37.519
 things

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:38.740
 that the Israelites

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.300
 have

00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:40.040
 to clothe

00:20:40.040 --> 00:20:40.620
 the priest

00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:41.440
 to clothe

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.780
 the one

00:20:41.780 --> 00:20:42.280
 who will be

00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:43.000
 this representative

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.920
 because it is

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.340
 fitting

00:20:44.340 --> 00:20:44.900
 for one

00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:45.519
 who approaches

00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.400
 a holy God

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.740
 to have clothing

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.480
 that reflects

00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:50.280
 his beauty

00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:51.240
 and his glory

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.320
 and his majesty

00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.879
 and interestingly

00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:55.359
 too

00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:56.539
 even something

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.919
 as mundane

00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:59.319
 as the undergarments

00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.179
 okay

00:21:00.179 --> 00:21:00.720
 I don't know

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.460
 if you picked this

00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:03.099
 we didn't read this

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:04.939
 so in verses 42

00:21:04.939 --> 00:21:05.799
 and following

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.899
 of chapter 28

00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:07.980
 it talks about

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:08.740
 the undergarments

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.399
 of the priest

00:21:09.399 --> 00:21:10.799
 which is a little awkward

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.460
 but here's

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:13.419
 here's the amazing

00:21:13.419 --> 00:21:14.179
 thing about it

00:21:14.179 --> 00:21:16.799
 in all of the nations

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.279
 around

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.619
 in Canaanite ritual

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:21.460
 one of the major

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:22.680
 ways in which

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:24.259
 gods were worshipped

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:25.160
 in the cultures

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.519
 had to do

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.140
 with sex

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:28.759
 there was temple

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.539
 prostitution

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:30.579
 you would go in

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:31.779
 those who served

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:32.539
 in the temple

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:33.940
 would be available

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:35.200
 so that the worshipper

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:35.819
 could come

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:37.759
 and by having sex

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.559
 with them

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.620
 would actually

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.120
 then

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:41.200
 claim

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:42.440
 some sort of right

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.120
 or at least

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:44.400
 make a case

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.360
 for God

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.100
 to respond

00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:46.460
 to them

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.620
 in a particular way

00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:51.500
 and friends

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.339
 it's so

00:21:52.339 --> 00:21:53.500
 far

00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:54.399
 from what we do

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:55.099
 here at church

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:56.519
 that it's

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.279
 it's sort of

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.819
 unthinkable

00:21:57.819 --> 00:21:58.619
 but recognize

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:59.479
 how radical

00:21:59.479 --> 00:22:00.139
 it was

00:22:00.139 --> 00:22:01.759
 because the God

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.199
 of the Bible

00:22:02.199 --> 00:22:02.579
 says

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:03.959
 no that is not

00:22:03.959 --> 00:22:05.979
 what that is for

00:22:05.979 --> 00:22:07.259
 and that is not

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.839
 what it means

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.539
 to worship me

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:09.359
 and so I will

00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.559
 clothe my priest

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.659
 with undergarments

00:22:11.659 --> 00:22:12.859
 so that

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.739
 it is clear

00:22:13.739 --> 00:22:14.459
 to all

00:22:14.459 --> 00:22:15.699
 that this is not

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:17.500
 a part of worshipping

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.819
 me

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:20.500
 you worship me

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.620
 in spirit and truth

00:22:21.620 --> 00:22:22.720
 you worship me

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.840
 through the offering

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:24.720
 of sacrifices

00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:25.460
 and the washing

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:26.299
 of your hands

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.120
 you worship me

00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:28.819
 through the lighting

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.360
 of candle

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.340
 because all of these

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:31.039
 have images

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:32.080
 of light

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:32.700
 and truth

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:33.380
 and purity

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.400
 that reflect

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.220
 who I am

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:37.039
 but not that

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:43.480
 now in the old days

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.519
 the church used to get

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.580
 dressed up for church

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:47.119
 used to wear

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:47.819
 a coat and tie

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.980
 some of you still do

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:50.319
 praise the Lord

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.720
 because there's a

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.819
 right recognition

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:54.099
 that in that culture

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:54.939
 there was a sense of

00:22:54.939 --> 00:22:56.480
 I want to bring

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.659
 my best to church

00:22:57.659 --> 00:22:59.599
 and there's a good

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.859
 heart behind that

00:23:00.859 --> 00:23:03.299
 but on the other hand

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:04.599
 what we do see

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:05.539
 is that it's easy

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.379
 for us to

00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:07.579
 just as in the old testament

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:08.460
 to get caught up

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:09.460
 in externalism

00:23:09.460 --> 00:23:09.939
 and to think

00:23:09.939 --> 00:23:10.859
 if I look good

00:23:10.859 --> 00:23:11.480
 on the outside

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.460
 isn't that great

00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:13.679
 and what God

00:23:13.679 --> 00:23:14.339
 really wants

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:15.000
 is for us

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.699
 to clothe ourselves

00:23:16.699 --> 00:23:17.679
 in beauty

00:23:17.679 --> 00:23:18.379
 and glory

00:23:18.379 --> 00:23:19.439
 not with our

00:23:19.439 --> 00:23:20.039
 external

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.059
 merely

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:25.099
 thankfully we have

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:25.679
 great freedom

00:23:25.679 --> 00:23:26.299
 in this church

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:27.419
 and may it go on

00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:27.899
 forever

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.919
 you can wear

00:23:28.919 --> 00:23:29.899
 what you have

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:31.419
 to come to church

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:33.139
 but what God

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:33.899
 really wants

00:23:33.899 --> 00:23:34.379
 is for us

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.259
 to worship Him

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:36.179
 in the splendor

00:23:36.179 --> 00:23:37.099
 of holiness

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:40.039
 Psalm 96

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.980
 says this

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:42.359
 ascribe to the Lord

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:42.919
 the glory

00:23:42.919 --> 00:23:43.599
 due to His name

00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:44.379
 bring an offering

00:23:44.379 --> 00:23:45.500
 and come into His courts

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:46.959
 worship the Lord

00:23:46.959 --> 00:23:47.839
 in the splendor

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.399
 of holiness

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:50.359
 tremble before Him

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.259
 all the earth

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:52.879
 say among the nations

00:23:52.879 --> 00:23:54.939
 the Lord reigns

00:23:54.939 --> 00:23:57.179
 worship the Lord

00:23:57.179 --> 00:23:58.059
 in the splendor

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.619
 of holiness

00:23:58.619 --> 00:24:00.299
 is not His holiness

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:01.259
 it's ours

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.899
 we are to bring

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:03.879
 the splendor

00:24:03.879 --> 00:24:05.240
 of who He is

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:06.039
 and what He's done

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.620
 in us

00:24:06.620 --> 00:24:07.400
 and for us

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.620
 to bear

00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:10.220
 and we are to bring

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:11.579
 a goodness

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:13.660
 a character

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:15.220
 an internal

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:16.720
 reality

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:18.140
 that our life

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:18.940
 is set apart

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.680
 for God

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:21.539
 and that is a beautiful

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.819
 God that we serve

00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:26.940
 so God has ordained

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.519
 the priests

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.839
 and God has made them

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.579
 beautiful

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:32.120
 and full of glory

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.500
 to reflect Him

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:34.119
 and to rightly

00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:34.719
 approach Him

00:24:34.719 --> 00:24:35.739
 the third thing

00:24:35.739 --> 00:24:36.419
 we see is that

00:24:36.419 --> 00:24:37.559
 the priest represents

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.259
 the people

00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:40.219
 and turn with me

00:24:40.219 --> 00:24:41.079
 to chapter 28

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:41.739
 verse 9

00:24:41.739 --> 00:24:45.039
 in the middle

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.759
 of the ephod

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:47.139
 which is this tunic

00:24:47.139 --> 00:24:48.219
 or piece of clothing

00:24:48.219 --> 00:24:48.819
 that they wear

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:50.119
 there are clasps

00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:50.939
 on the top

00:24:50.939 --> 00:24:52.399
 and on those clasps

00:24:52.399 --> 00:24:53.959
 there are onyx stones

00:24:53.959 --> 00:24:55.099
 onyx is a black

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:56.679
 gemstone

00:24:56.679 --> 00:24:58.679
 and on those stones

00:24:58.679 --> 00:24:59.599
 then are written

00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:01.179
 in filigree of gold

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:03.180
 the names of the tribes

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:04.500
 of the people of Israel

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:06.720
 and then on top of that

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.560
 is put the breast piece

00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:10.860
 which some translations

00:25:10.860 --> 00:25:11.980
 have breast plate

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:13.080
 which makes it feel

00:25:13.080 --> 00:25:13.720
 like a medieval

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.759
 set of armor

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.600
 it's not that

00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:16.640
 it's a piece of cloth

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.279
 but on that piece of cloth

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.360
 it has stones

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:21.180
 twelve of them in fact

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.259
 and on each stone

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.759
 is written

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.299
 again

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:24.380
 the names

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:25.640
 of the twelve tribes

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:26.279
 of Israel

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:28.879
 because

00:25:28.879 --> 00:25:33.799
 the priest stands

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:35.000
 as he goes in

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.839
 and serves

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.839
 in the tabernacle

00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.379
 because he represents

00:25:38.379 --> 00:25:40.079
 the people of God

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.000
 he stands

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.000
 for

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:44.500
 the people of God

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:46.259
 just as Moses

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.759
 did

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.660
 in some way

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:48.279
 on the mountain

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:49.259
 as Moses went up

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:49.859
 and the people said

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.240
 no, no, no

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.920
 we don't want to go

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:52.000
 you go for us

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.079
 so God

00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.539
 graciously accommodates

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.539
 and recognizes this

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:56.900
 and says

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.279
 okay

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.799
 I'm going to

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.099
 there is a priesthood

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:00.240
 that I have ordained

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.099
 to represent you

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:03.380
 before me

00:26:03.380 --> 00:26:05.759
 and they wear these clothes

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.960
 so that they might do it

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.000
 and friends

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.099
 this is good news

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:12.220
 that one might stand

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.019
 for us

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:16.220
 we often think

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.559
 in our

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.380
 individualism

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:19.099
 and maybe

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.920
 in our pride

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:20.839
 and self-confidence

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:22.480
 that we can approach

00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:23.240
 God on our own

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.839
 and be okay

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.119
 but I hope

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.159
 that as we've reflected

00:26:27.159 --> 00:26:27.799
 a little bit

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.619
 on God's holiness

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.199
 this morning

00:26:29.199 --> 00:26:29.659
 we realize

00:26:29.659 --> 00:26:30.980
 it's a fearsome thing

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:32.619
 and that there is a place

00:26:32.619 --> 00:26:34.199
 where it is a valuable thing

00:26:34.199 --> 00:26:34.919
 to have someone

00:26:34.919 --> 00:26:35.819
 mediate

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.859
 or someone stand

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.959
 between us

00:26:37.959 --> 00:26:39.000
 and those

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.419
 who rule over us

00:26:40.419 --> 00:26:41.339
 and judge us

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:44.179
 though God

00:26:44.179 --> 00:26:45.079
 is a good God

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:46.220
 it does

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:48.139
 remind me of

00:26:48.139 --> 00:26:49.839
 there's this great story

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:50.919
 that I read

00:26:50.919 --> 00:26:51.199
 called

00:26:51.199 --> 00:26:51.919
 The Miracle

00:26:51.919 --> 00:26:53.059
 on the River Kwai

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:54.059
 about a guy

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:55.139
 named Ernest Gordon

00:26:55.139 --> 00:26:56.459
 who was a

00:26:56.459 --> 00:26:57.339
 prisoner

00:26:57.339 --> 00:26:58.759
 in Southeast Asia

00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.639
 in World War II

00:26:59.639 --> 00:27:02.099
 and how he

00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:03.379
 saw God

00:27:03.379 --> 00:27:03.939
 at work

00:27:03.939 --> 00:27:04.599
 in the midst

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.279
 of the most

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:06.519
 dismal

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.619
 abominable

00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:09.879
 and cruel

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:11.199
 circumstances

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:12.799
 and one of the things

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:13.299
 that happened

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.919
 in those

00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:15.299
 in those camps

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.859
 is that the officers

00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:17.759
 would often

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.960
 stand in the place

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.640
 of their men

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.640
 when a man

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.700
 would find himself

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:25.740
 on the wrong side

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:27.599
 of a guard's attention

00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:28.839
 where he'd done

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.500
 something wrong

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:30.240
 or maybe he hadn't

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.039
 done anything wrong

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:31.500
 and the guard

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:32.140
 had started

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:33.359
 to just abuse him

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:34.299
 which was common

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:35.519
 in this place

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.519
 the officers

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:37.960
 often would step in

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.700
 and stand in the place

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.700
 of their soldiers

00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:45.360
 to mediate

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:47.720
 and sometimes

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.779
 that just

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.740
 simply relieved

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.279
 the pressure

00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.160
 and the punishment

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:52.980
 did not happen

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:54.480
 and sometimes

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.019
 the punishment

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:56.620
 was turned

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:57.400
 on the officer

00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:01.799
 friends

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.519
 those soldiers

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:03.220
 were glad

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:04.559
 to have one

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.080
 stand

00:28:05.080 --> 00:28:06.200
 in their place

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:09.000
 now our God

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.720
 is not a cruel

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:10.480
 taskmaster

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.440
 but he is a holy God

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.059
 and for us

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:15.539
 to have one

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:15.980
 to stand

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.640
 in our place

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.240
 and to bear

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:18.019
 our names

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:19.279
 is a beautiful thing

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.140
 so finally

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:24.779
 God ordains them

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:26.039
 God dresses them

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.460
 in beauty

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:27.120
 and glory

00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:29.400
 God calls them

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:30.100
 to bear

00:28:30.100 --> 00:28:30.960
 the role

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:31.759
 of a representative

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.600
 and finally

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:35.120
 we see

00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:36.240
 that this priesthood

00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:36.980
 must be

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.940
 without sin

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:39.420
 this is what

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.279
 chapter 29

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.120
 in some ways

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:42.120
 is all about

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:43.219
 as Aaron

00:28:43.219 --> 00:28:43.899
 and his sons

00:28:43.899 --> 00:28:44.959
 are set apart

00:28:44.959 --> 00:28:46.259
 there is a

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:46.919
 recognition

00:28:46.919 --> 00:28:47.819
 that they

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.599
 may not

00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:49.000
 approach

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.879
 a holy God

00:28:49.879 --> 00:28:51.179
 on their own

00:28:51.179 --> 00:28:51.679
 righteousness

00:28:51.679 --> 00:28:52.399
 either

00:28:52.399 --> 00:28:54.000
 that they too

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.919
 are sinful

00:28:54.919 --> 00:28:56.179
 that they too

00:28:56.179 --> 00:28:56.839
 must have

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:57.759
 sacrifices

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:59.319
 shed for them

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.639
 in verses

00:29:00.639 --> 00:29:01.899
 10 through 25

00:29:01.899 --> 00:29:03.019
 of chapter 29

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.659
 it's about

00:29:03.659 --> 00:29:04.799
 three sacrifices

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:05.899
 a bull

00:29:05.899 --> 00:29:07.219
 for a sin offering

00:29:07.219 --> 00:29:07.899
 to atone

00:29:07.899 --> 00:29:08.779
 for their sin

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:09.879
 the first

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.299
 ram

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:11.220
 offered

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:12.799
 as a

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.759
 burnt offering

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.660
 to express

00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:15.480
 their devotion

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:16.259
 to God

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:16.859
 and then the

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:17.440
 third one

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.579
 a wave offering

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:19.660
 or a food offering

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.940
 to express

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:21.819
 their communion

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:22.700
 with God

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:25.440
 having had

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:26.440
 the covering

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.099
 of the first

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:28.680
 two sacrifices

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.399
 already

00:29:29.399 --> 00:29:32.440
 and when you

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:33.000
 look throughout

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.460
 you see

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:34.399
 the blood

00:29:34.399 --> 00:29:35.579
 of these sacrifices

00:29:35.579 --> 00:29:36.539
 is sprinkled

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:37.039
 everywhere

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:38.279
 it's on the

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:38.740
 altars

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:39.399
 it's on the

00:29:39.399 --> 00:29:40.339
 clothing of the

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:40.699
 priests

00:29:40.699 --> 00:29:41.419
 it's on the

00:29:41.419 --> 00:29:42.159
 priests themselves

00:29:42.159 --> 00:29:42.819
 their ear

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.480
 and their nose

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.119
 and their toe

00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:45.579
 signifying everything

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:46.439
 that they do

00:29:46.439 --> 00:29:51.159
 these priests

00:29:51.159 --> 00:29:51.740
 needed

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:53.299
 a sacrifice

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:54.059
 to cover

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:54.960
 their sin

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.759
 as well

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.559
 so that they

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.460
 might not die

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:58.759
 and you see

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.279
 this actually

00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:00.199
 mentioned twice

00:30:00.199 --> 00:30:01.759
 in verse 28

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.759
 or in chapter 28

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:04.679
 verse 35

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:06.120
 you see

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:07.080
 this made

00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:07.560
 clear

00:30:07.560 --> 00:30:08.360
 right

00:30:08.360 --> 00:30:08.980
 they're wearing

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.640
 these bells

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:11.100
 and the hem

00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:11.620
 of their robe

00:30:11.620 --> 00:30:12.220
 is a particular

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:12.740
 thing

00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:14.560
 when he comes

00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:14.900
 out

00:30:14.900 --> 00:30:15.680
 so that

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.259
 the very end

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.700
 of the verse

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.279
 is so that

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.960
 he does not

00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:18.360
 die

00:30:18.360 --> 00:30:19.259
 and then again

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:20.320
 on verse 43

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:22.620
 and then when

00:30:22.620 --> 00:30:23.140
 Aaron and his

00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:23.380
 sons

00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:23.980
 when they go

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.519
 into the tent

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:24.900
 of meeting

00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:25.400
 or when they

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.120
 come near the

00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:27.000
 altar to minister

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.440
 in the holy

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:27.860
 place

00:30:27.860 --> 00:30:28.539
 lest they

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.360
 bear guilt

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:30.759
 and die

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.240
 so built

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.660
 into this

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.299
 whole picture

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:34.579
 there's a

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:35.039
 recognition

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.480
 that it

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:35.899
 is a

00:30:35.899 --> 00:30:36.419
 fearsome

00:30:36.419 --> 00:30:36.700
 thing

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:37.240
 to approach

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:37.639
 a holy

00:30:37.639 --> 00:30:38.079
 God

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:39.960
 and as we'll

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:40.419
 see in just

00:30:40.419 --> 00:30:40.940
 a few more

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:41.319
 chapters

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:42.299
 as Aaron

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:43.079
 and the people

00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:44.319
 rebel against

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.279
 God with the

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:45.980
 incident of the

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.839
 holy calf

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.879
 God breaks

00:30:47.879 --> 00:30:48.579
 out against

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:48.779
 them

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:49.259
 and he even

00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:49.759
 says I

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.279
 can't go

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:50.659
 with you

00:30:50.659 --> 00:30:51.079
 anymore

00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:52.059
 because my

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:52.980
 holiness is so

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:53.779
 hot and your

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.639
 sinfulness is so

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:55.619
 great I will

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:56.740
 merely destroy

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:57.139
 you

00:30:57.139 --> 00:31:00.019
 this is the

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.779
 assumption

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:02.059
 that God

00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:02.559
 is so

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.019
 holy

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:04.480
 and yet

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:05.779
 what we see

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:06.279
 here is that

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:06.899
 even these

00:31:06.899 --> 00:31:07.420
 priests

00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:10.500
 who are

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.039
 ordained

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:11.519
 and called

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:11.940
 by God

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.740
 to represent

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.420
 the people

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:14.039
 and to stand

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:14.799
 between

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:16.420
 sinful people

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:16.680
 and a

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:17.379
 holy God

00:31:17.379 --> 00:31:18.899
 as they do

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:19.579
 their office

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:20.420
 they too

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:21.559
 must offer

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:21.920
 up

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.980
 sacrifices

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:26.079
 so what do

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.559
 we see

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:27.720
 we see

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.039
 that the

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.419
 tension

00:31:28.419 --> 00:31:28.899
 of how

00:31:28.899 --> 00:31:29.319
 a sinful

00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:29.659
 people

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:29.859
 may

00:31:29.859 --> 00:31:30.200
 approach

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:30.539
 a holy

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:30.799
 God

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:31.460
 is relieved

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:32.079
 God

00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:32.679
 has provided

00:31:32.679 --> 00:31:33.399
 a mediator

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:33.639
 God

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.240
 has provided

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:34.639
 someone

00:31:34.639 --> 00:31:35.279
 to serve

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:35.539
 in the

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:35.839
 temple

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.500
 and to

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.960
 play this

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.379
 role

00:31:37.379 --> 00:31:37.839
 so that

00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:38.720
 we don't

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.039
 have to

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.579
 be afraid

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:39.980
 as the

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.240
 people

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.679
 of God

00:31:40.679 --> 00:31:41.679
 and as

00:31:41.679 --> 00:31:42.099
 the people

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:42.740
 of Israel

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:44.000
 of old

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.679
 and yet

00:31:45.679 --> 00:31:46.179
 the tension

00:31:46.179 --> 00:31:46.779
 is also

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.559
 ratcheted up

00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:48.079
 because we

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:48.460
 see that

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:49.000
 even the

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.359
 priest

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:49.740
 that was

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:50.319
 provided

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.339
 wasn't

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:52.819
 enough

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:54.159
 it wasn't

00:31:54.159 --> 00:31:54.700
 perfect

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:55.339
 enough

00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:56.339
 it didn't

00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:56.859
 actually

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:57.359
 resolve

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.899
 the tension

00:31:57.899 --> 00:31:58.480
 because they

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:58.939
 were men

00:31:58.939 --> 00:31:59.459
 just like

00:31:59.459 --> 00:31:59.720
 we

00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.000
 they were

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:01.839
 human beings

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.279
 in our

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:02.559
 sinful

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.119
 condition

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:04.059
 just like

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:04.639
 we are

00:32:04.639 --> 00:32:05.740
 and it

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:05.919
 is

00:32:05.919 --> 00:32:06.480
 awesomely

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.859
 good

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:07.500
 that God

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:08.099
 would choose

00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:08.480
 them to

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:08.939
 play this

00:32:08.939 --> 00:32:09.199
 role

00:32:09.199 --> 00:32:09.480
 but it

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.599
 is

00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:10.220
 awesomely

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:10.939
 terrifying

00:32:10.939 --> 00:32:13.679
 because God

00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:14.659
 cannot tolerate

00:32:14.659 --> 00:32:15.139
 sin

00:32:15.139 --> 00:32:18.199
 because only

00:32:18.199 --> 00:32:18.899
 a sinless

00:32:18.899 --> 00:32:19.279
 one

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:20.539
 could truly

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.279
 represent

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.319
 and bear

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:23.000
 the sins

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.799
 of another

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:26.259
 friends

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:26.759
 this is

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.119
 the good

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.519
 news

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.279
 is that

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:28.720
 this whole

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:29.180
 priestly

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:29.799
 system

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:30.759
 as much

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.059
 as it

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:31.919
 graciously

00:32:31.919 --> 00:32:32.980
 provided a

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.379
 way for

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:33.720
 God's

00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:34.220
 people to

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.639
 interact

00:32:34.639 --> 00:32:35.059
 with him

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:35.680
 and for

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:36.059
 a holy

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:36.500
 God to

00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:36.940
 dwell in

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:37.539
 their midst

00:32:37.539 --> 00:32:39.139
 it also

00:32:39.139 --> 00:32:39.659
 pointed

00:32:39.659 --> 00:32:40.579
 ahead

00:32:40.579 --> 00:32:41.980
 it expressed

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:43.319
 an incompleteness

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.399
 a lack

00:32:45.399 --> 00:32:46.440
 of total

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:47.079
 resolution

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.480
 of the

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.960
 problem

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.000
 and it

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.279
 pointed

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:50.839
 ahead

00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:51.759
 and so

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.039
 the

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.679
 saints

00:32:52.679 --> 00:32:52.980
 of the

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.199
 Old

00:32:53.199 --> 00:32:53.579
 Testament

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:54.019
 looked

00:32:54.019 --> 00:32:54.419
 ahead

00:32:54.419 --> 00:32:55.259
 longing

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:55.740
 to see

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:56.019
 how

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.379
 God

00:32:56.379 --> 00:32:56.579
 would

00:32:56.579 --> 00:32:56.779
 do

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:57.059
 this

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:57.599
 how

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:57.779
 it

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:57.939
 is

00:32:57.939 --> 00:32:58.059
 that

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:58.220
 the

00:32:58.220 --> 00:32:58.659
 priesthood

00:32:58.659 --> 00:32:58.819
 would

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:58.959
 be

00:32:58.959 --> 00:32:59.439
 finally

00:32:59.439 --> 00:33:00.039
 fulfilled

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:00.579
 how

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:00.740
 it

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:00.879
 is

00:33:00.879 --> 00:33:01.000
 that

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.159
 their

00:33:01.159 --> 00:33:01.500
 sins

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:01.699
 could

00:33:01.699 --> 00:33:02.199
 finally

00:33:02.199 --> 00:33:02.419
 be

00:33:02.419 --> 00:33:02.779
 atoned

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:03.039
 for

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.539
 how

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:03.699
 it

00:33:03.699 --> 00:33:03.839
 is

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:03.980
 that

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:04.139
 they

00:33:04.139 --> 00:33:04.359
 could

00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:04.959
 finally

00:33:04.959 --> 00:33:05.379
 dwell

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:05.619
 with

00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:05.919
 God

00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:06.079
 and

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.259
 he

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.500
 with

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:06.879
 them

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.579
 in

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:08.099
 perfection

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:10.980
 and friends

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:11.519
 this leads

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.919
 us to

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:12.539
 the passage

00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:13.259
 that was

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.519
 read

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.039
 earlier

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.519
 and I

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:14.740
 want to

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.059
 look at

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:15.179
 it

00:33:15.179 --> 00:33:15.480
 again

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.199
 we're

00:33:16.199 --> 00:33:16.319
 not

00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:16.519
 going to

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:16.740
 spend

00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:17.099
 a lot

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.220
 of

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:17.519
 time

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:17.859
 here

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:20.220
 but

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.380
 in

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:20.660
 Hebrews

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:29.539
 verses

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:31.120
 23

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:31.680
 through

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:32.339
 27

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:33.180
 let me

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:33.420
 just

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:33.799
 read

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:34.200
 this

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:35.339
 the

00:33:35.339 --> 00:33:35.660
 former

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:36.140
 priests

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:36.380
 were

00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:36.680
 many

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:36.900
 in

00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:37.160
 number

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:37.519
 because

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:37.740
 they

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:37.880
 were

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:38.240
 prevented

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.559
 by

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:38.839
 death

00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:39.019
 from

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.500
 continuing

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:39.740
 in

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:40.039
 office

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.680
 but

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:40.980
 he

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:41.240
 that

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.400
 is

00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:41.779
 Jesus

00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:42.660
 holds

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:42.900
 his

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.299
 priesthood

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.799
 permanently

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.180
 because

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.380
 he

00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:44.859
 continues

00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:45.359
 forever

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:46.439
 consequently

00:33:46.439 --> 00:33:46.779
 he

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:46.939
 is

00:33:46.939 --> 00:33:47.139
 able

00:33:47.139 --> 00:33:47.339
 to

00:33:47.339 --> 00:33:47.740
 save

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:47.939
 to

00:33:47.939 --> 00:33:48.119
 the

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.639
 uttermost

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:48.979
 those

00:33:48.979 --> 00:33:49.139
 who

00:33:49.139 --> 00:33:49.379
 draw

00:33:49.379 --> 00:33:49.740
 near

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.279
 to

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.559
 God

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:50.839
 through

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.139
 him

00:33:51.139 --> 00:33:51.399
 since

00:33:51.399 --> 00:33:51.539
 he

00:33:51.539 --> 00:33:51.899
 always

00:33:51.899 --> 00:33:52.319
 lives

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:52.939
 to

00:33:52.939 --> 00:33:53.139
 make

00:33:53.139 --> 00:33:53.659
 intercession

00:33:53.659 --> 00:33:54.039
 for

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:54.339
 them

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:55.179
 now

00:33:55.179 --> 00:33:55.399
 listen

00:33:55.399 --> 00:33:55.559
 to

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:55.819
 this

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:56.119
 because

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:56.399
 this

00:33:56.399 --> 00:33:56.579
 should

00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:56.799
 have

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.159
 echoes

00:33:57.159 --> 00:33:57.359
 of

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:57.719
 everything

00:33:57.719 --> 00:33:58.059
 we've

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.299
 just

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:58.659
 read

00:33:58.659 --> 00:33:59.479
 for

00:33:59.479 --> 00:33:59.599
 it

00:33:59.599 --> 00:33:59.740
 is

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:00.059
 indeed

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.519
 fitting

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.779
 that

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:01.000
 we

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:01.279
 should

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.619
 have

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:01.939
 such

00:34:01.939 --> 00:34:02.079
 a

00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:02.299
 high

00:34:02.299 --> 00:34:02.719
 priest

00:34:02.719 --> 00:34:03.679
 holy

00:34:03.679 --> 00:34:04.779
 innocent

00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:06.199
 unstained

00:34:06.199 --> 00:34:06.859
 separate

00:34:06.859 --> 00:34:07.179
 from

00:34:07.179 --> 00:34:07.639
 sinners

00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:08.000
 and

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.559
 exalted

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:08.880

 he

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:10.839
 has

00:34:10.839 --> 00:34:11.219
 no

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:11.699
 need

 daily

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:15.800
 first

00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:16.000

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:17.139

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:17.320
 then

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:17.500
 for

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.320
 people

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:19.460
 since

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.659
 he

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:19.880
 did

00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:20.119
 this

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.519
 once

 later

 unmatched

00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:55.880
 actually

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:56.560
 reflects
