Exodus 29 -Consecration of the Priests and Altar |Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 29 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Exodus 29 we have the consecration of the priests. This means they were set apart for God’s use. And they were anointed with oil as part of that process. In a same way we as Christians are called to be set apart for God’s purpose. We must not be like the world, but be different to it. And God wants to give us the Holy Spirit as an anointing to empower us for his service.Even the Lord Jesus was anointed at his baptism when the Spirit came on him, and He was publicly affirmed at that time too. Afterwards he was tempted and then commenced his public ministry. This chapter, and Christ’s experience are a model of what should happen for every believer.Once the priests were consecrated they began a daily sacrificial system where lambs were sacrificed morning and evening. This demonstrates the continual intercession of Christ on our behalf.Finally with Christ as our high priest, we too are priests and we offer spiritual sacrifices continually. Peter wrote that “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.” It’s chapters like this where Peter saw what he was talking about.
