Dear mkp98, This is an excellent question that you've posed. But I believe that the Scriptures do have an answer for you. It says in Hebrews 9:18-22 that God used blood to dedicate everything in the Old Testament. And so Aaron and his sons were dedicated to God with blood as everything else was (Exo. 29:12,16; Lev. 16:14-16). And blood was placeD on theIR right body parts to symbolize to the Jews, the right side was the side of strength. (And we know that Christ is at the right hand of God today!) The application for you and I today from this passage is that our dedication is much more superior than this ever was. We are sprinkled with the blood of Jesus! (Hebrews 12:18-24; I Pe. 1:2).Our HEARTS are sprinkled clean not our exterior body parts (Heb. 10:22). The priesthood that we belong to is a spiritual one, with spiritual symbols and sacrifices. And JESUS is our High Priest. (See Heb. 13:10-16; I Pe. 2:4,5,9). Please don't get entangled too much with the details of the sacrifices and the Levitical priesthood. Christ has fulfilled all of this for us! Some of those ceremonies have a specific meaning for us, like the Passover. Others just have general information that is now obsolete. I hope this sheds a little light into your question. Blessings! STUDENT 7300 |
