The Priest We Need | Chilliwack Campus | Lent: The Gospel in Levicticus

Leviticus 8:1-13

How can sinful people live near a holy God and not be consumed? In Leviticus 8 we watch God take the initiative: He appoints priests, consecrates them, clothes them, anoints them, and shows Israel that even their mediators need atonement. And that’s the point: the whole priestly system was never meant to be the finish line; it was meant to create hunger for someone better. Because if priests had to stand daily offering sacrifices that could never fully take away sin, then we need a Priest who doesn’t need cleansing, doesn’t need repeating, and doesn’t need replacing; and that Priest is Jesus Christ, the One who offered one sacrifice for all time and sat down, because the work is finished.
