FBCWest 270 | | Consecration and Ordination of the Priests and the Alter

After instructing Moses on how construct the Tabernacle, its furniture and the clothing of the Priests, God instructs Moses how the priests, Tabernacle, furniture, and clothing are to be consecrated. Following God’s instructions, they are to offer sacrifices and place blood upon them. These instructions on sacrifices inform us it is not the office or the thing that is sacred but following the instructions of God. After a very extensive discussion as to making these people and items consecrated, Exodus informs us it is the glory of God that makes these holy. We are called by God to be a holy nation and a royal priesthood and are to be consecrated to His service. We should remember that as well, it is not our efforts to make us holy, but the glory of God does so.
