Exodus 28 · Grade 4
A Priest Who Carries Us
Read and Think
A priest stood between God and the people. He offered sacrifices and prayed for them. Aaron's clothes showed how holy and important this job was.
Aaron carried the names of the tribes on his shoulders and over his heart. That showed he carried the people before God and cared for them.
In the New Testament, Hebrews 4:14-16 says Jesus is our great High Priest. He knows our weakness, and He prays for us. Because of Him, we can come boldly to God's throne of grace. First Peter 2:9 also calls believers a royal priesthood.
