Leviticus 5-8

In Leviticus 8:23 Aaron and his sons were being set apart as priest of God. It was the blood of the sacrifice that first set them apart. The blood marked them as holy men. But the last part of their ordination was the meal. In verse 31 they were commanded to eat a part of the sacrifice. This too was a part of their ordination. The pictures of Jesus are hard to miss in this setting. Not only does his blood mark the Christian as holy but his body is the continual meal reminding us of the sacrifice.
