Exodus 28-29 Who is between you and God?

[29] So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment on his heart, when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them to regular remembrance before the LORD. - Exodus 28:29 ESV

Aaron, the High Priest. A man chosen by God, who must have his own sins cleansed by the shedding of the blood of the innocent. Then, and only then, could he come into the very presence of God. Aaron died...

[7] but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. - Hebrews 9:7 ESV

Jesus, the Great High Priest. The Son of God. Tempted, yet never sinned. Offered His innocent Self as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. Jesus rose from the dead...


[15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. - Hebrews 4:15 ESV

[26] For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. - Hebrews 7:26 ESV

[1] Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, - Hebrews 8:1 ESV


[25] Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, [26] for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. [27] And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, [28] so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. - Hebrews 9:25-28 ESV
