Leviticus 8:1-9:24
Aaron
was anointed with "the anointing oil", set apart or "dedicated" to the
Lord for "holy duties" (Leviticus 8:12,30). Anointed by the Lord and
dedicated to Him, "Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded,
through Moses" (Leviticus 8:36). Concerning the Lord's commands, "Moses
said, 'The Lord has commanded you to offer these sacrifices so that you
may see the Lord's glory'" (Leviticus 9:6). Together with Moses, Aaron
was obedient to God, bringing the blessing of God to the people - "Then
the Lord's glory appeared to all the people" (Leviticus 9:23). The
principles of God's blessing are still the same. We need the anointing
of the Holy Spirit. He calls us to obedience. This is the way of
receiving God's blessing. This is the way in which the glory of God
comes down upon the people of God. We receive God's blessing when the
Holy Spirit comes down upon us in His mighty power.
