Cleansed

"Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot”.

~Leviticus 8:23 HCSB 

Moses was consecrating the tabernacle.  This was a serious event and blood of animals was shed to cleanse and prepare Aaron and his sons.  They would represent the people of Israel before the Lord.  They were anointed with oil to set them apart for this purpose.  Also Moses slaughtered a ram and took the blood and touched Aaron’s right earlobe, right thumb and the big toe of his right foot.

Moses did this to cleanse Aaron for the purpose he would serve.  His ears were set apart to hear the confessions of the people.  His hands were set apart for the touching of the people offerings and his feet for standing on holy ground.  We too are entirely set apart for the purpose and will of God by Christ. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7 Through the shedding of Christ blood we have been cleansed from sin and set apart for His glory, for which we are to live our lives.

Thank you lord Jesus for your cleansing blood!  That through your sacrifice I have forgiveness and eternal life. Lord help me to live a life worthy of this call!  I Love you Lord thank you!
