BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossians 1-4
TEXT: Leviticus 16:1-19
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses
after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the Lord, and died;
2 and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell
Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the
Holy Place inside the
veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud
above the mercy seat.
3 “Thus Aaron
shall come into the Holy Place: with the
blood of a young bull as a sin
offering, and of a
ram as a burnt offering.
4 He shall put
the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; he shall be
girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired.
These are holy garments. Therefore he shall
wash his body in water, and put them on.
5 And he shall take
from the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a
sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron shall offer
the bull as a sin offering, which is for
himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.
7 He shall take the two
goats and present them before the Lord at the
door of the tabernacle of meeting.
8 Then Aaron shall cast
lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for
the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring
the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a
sin offering.
10 But the goat on which
the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord,
to make atonement upon it, and to let it go as the
scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 “And Aaron shall
bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make
atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin
offering which is for himself.
12 Then he shall
take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before
the Lord, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and
bring it inside the veil.
13 And he shall put the
incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover
the mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest
he die.
14 He shall take some of
the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with
his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall
sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 “Then he shall kill
the goat of the sin offering, which is for
the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did
with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the
mercy seat.
16 So he shall make
atonement for the Holy Place, because of the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for
all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains
among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 There shall
be no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement
in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that
he may make atonement for himself, for his household, and for all the assembly
of Israel.
18 And he shall go out
to the altar that is before the Lord,
and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull
and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all
around.
19 Then he shall
sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it,
and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of
Israel.

KEY VERSE:
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy
brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail
before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will
appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat."
- Leviticus 16:2
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Come boldly into His presence.
THEMESSAGE:
At the entrance to an Abbey in Yorkshire, there are three steps
near the chancel door. One of black marble, symbolising sin; one of red marble,
picturing the blood of Jesus; and one of white marble, indicating cleansing by
the precious blood of Jesus.
In our text, God told Moses to inform Aaron, the high priest not
to frequent the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle. This is where the ark of the
covenant of God is placed, and above it is the mercy seat where God speaks to
His people, Israel. The high priest was required to go into this most holy
place once in a year with series of offerings made with animal blood to make
atonement for Israel and the priests that minister in the Tabernacle. He was
required to come with a censer full of hot coals from the altar, with incense,
to burn in the holiest place, while sprinkling the blood of the atonement.
Other requirements include washing himself with water before and after going
in, and putting on his high priestly garments.
Today, we have unrestrained access to God through the Lord Jesus
Christ, our King and High Priest. We are not to come trembling like it was in
the Old Testament, but boldly into the presence of God, to obtain mercy and
find help at the hour of need (Hebrews 4:14-16).
We should not act rudely in God's presence because of the
benefits of the New Testament. As His covenant children, seeking God in the
secret place of prayer will grant us more access to the provisions of heaven.
