________________________________________
Starting a new responsibility can feel heavy when you understand what is at stake. Aaron’s first priestly acts are not casual or self-directed.
On the eighth day, Moses calls Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. Aaron must take a calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, while the people bring a goat for a sin offering, a calf and lamb for burnt offerings, an ox and ram for peace offerings, and a grain offering.
Hebrews 4 says we have a great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, who sympathizes with our weaknesses yet is without sin. Because of Him, we can draw near to the throne of grace for mercy and help.
God’s glory is connected to atonement, not human enthusiasm. Moses says the Lord will appear, and the priests begin with sacrifice.
Jesus is the High Priest who needs no offering for His own sin. He offers Himself for ours.
Before giving advice, leading, posting, or correcting someone, bring your own need to Jesus first. Ask for mercy and help.
________________________________________
REFLECT & RESPOND
Key Line: You cannot help others well while pretending you do not need mercy.
Reflection Question: Where are you tempted to serve, advise, or correct others while avoiding your own need for grace?
Practice: Pray for mercy and help before one conversation where you might lead, advise, or correct someone.

PRAYER
Jesus, my great High Priest, thank You that You are without sin and still compassionate toward my weakness. I need mercy before I try to help anyone else. Bring me to the throne of grace, and make my service humble, honest, and dependent on You.
