Leviticus 8 Bible Study - The Establishment of the Priesthood - Part 1 - The Ordination.

Leviticus 8 Bible Study - The Establishment of the Priesthood - Part 1 - The Ordination.
In this Bible Study we look at Leviticus chapter 8. Chapters 8-10 are all about the establishment of the priesthood, and today we look at the ordination process. God gave Moses very specific instructions in Exodus 28 and 29 and here we see those plans carried out.

Outline:
00:49 - Leviticus 1-7 Offerings Review
The offerings outlined in Leviticus 1-7: the burnt offering, the grain offering, the fellowship (peace) offering, as well as the sin and guilt offerings. We spent a lot of time looking at the blood of an offering. Leviticus 17.11 - the life is in the blood. The blood makes atonement.

21:34 - Leviticus 8.10-13 (anointing oil of the tabernacle and everything in it and outside it).

23:11 - Leviticus 8.14-17 - “long lobe of the liver”

25:32 - Leviticus 8.18-21

26.50 - Leviticus 8.22-29

28:31 - Why does Moses put blood on the Right ear lobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of Aaron (the high priest)?

32:40 - Leviticus 8.30-36 - Everything has now been anointed and set apart for the work of the Lord.

35:25 - If Jesus is our high priest (Heb 4.14-16) why do we not see Him go through a similar ordination process? Why does he not need to make atonements or sacrifices?
Heb 9.11-15 - gives us the answer.

27:56 - Conclusions:
In the Old Covenant, God’s people had a priesthood, but under the New Covenant, we, the church, are called to be that priesthood.

1 Peter 2.5, “you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” We are still called to make sacrifices today, but they are spiritual in nature, and not through the blood of animals.
1 Peter 2.9, “you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

1 Cor 6.18-20, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”

Closing Question for you to think on, do you consider yourself a holy, anointed priest of the Lord, anointed, consecrated, Set Apart for the Lord? If not, why not? If so, how?
