“And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.”
Leviticus 8:12 KJV
Aaron and his sons were called and chosen by God as Moses called them into God’s Presence; washed them with water; clothed them with priestly garments; anointed them with oil; offered different kinds of offerings on their behalf; and made them eat holy food in God’s Presence. In Christ, we are foreknown, predestined, called, justified and glorified. The Lord Jesus has washed us with the water of God’s Word, thoroughly cleansed us to present us before God. All our sins were washed away, the day we were baptised in Christ and His Word is continuously washing us from the defilement of daily life. We are dressed for dignity for we have put on the Lord Jesus Christ Himself as He clothes us with the robe of righteousness. Not only that, in Christ, He has anointed us so that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us to preach the Gospel, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, set at liberty the oppressed and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Christ has offered Himself for us and made the new covenant wherein we dine with the Divine. We rejoice in our high calling and that we are secure in Christ. Amen!
