Leviticus 2:3 NLT
“The rest of the grain offering will then be given to Aaron and his sons. This offering will be considered a most holy part of the special gifts presented to the Lord.”
Through Christ alone
One thing is clear, Aaron’s sons became priests because God called them (Exodus 28:1). In other words, they didn’t derive the right through their father, but God gave them the right to serve as His priests. It is, however, worth noting that it was through the finished work of salvation purchased by the blood of Jesus, our Lord and saviour, that you and I become royal priesthood. However, today’s referenced scripture shows that Aaron, who had no role in the sacrifice, got rewarded with some of the leftovers from the grain offering. But in our case, Jesus, the High priest, did everything, and we derive blessings from His kindness. God instructed that Aaron share in the rest of the grain offering even though he had no role in presenting it. If the order means something, it shows that Aaron must take from the remaining grain offering before his sons who performed the sacrifice would take theirs. The lesson is that we must never become conceited whenever God blesses us.
Prayer
Heavenly Father. Please help me not to be conceited whenever I am blessed. In Jesus’s name, amen.
