Leviticus 14:11 NLT
”Then the officiating priest will present that person for purification, along with the offerings, before the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle.“
The officiating priest
The death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, accomplished so much that human minds cannot fully comprehend. Through His supreme sacrifice, Jesus took upon Himself the sins of all humanity, providing a way for us to be reconciled with God.
In today’s referenced scripture, we see that a person seeking purification cannot approach God on their own. They require the assistance of a priest to mediate on their behalf. This requirement highlights the separation between humanity and God caused by sin.
Similarly, we all need Christ because, without His help, we cannot present ourselves blameless before God. No matter how hard we try, we cannot achieve this on our own. We need Jesus to intercede on our behalf, to present us before God as blameless.
The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We cannot earn salvation through good deeds or personal merit. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can come to the Father except through Him.
So, let us place our trust in Jesus, the One who has made a way for us to be reconciled with God. Let us approach Him with humility and gratitude, recognizing that without Him, we are lost. And let us remember that it is only through His grace and mercy that we can be saved.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please continue to be my officiating priest all the days of my life. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
