Today we are reading Exodus 28. In this chapter we read about the priestly garments Aaron and his sons were to wear. ““Then bring near to you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the people of Israel, to serve me as priests—Aaron and Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him for my priesthood.”
Exodus 28:1-3 ESV God is very specific about the beautiful garments the priests must wear. Gemstones, gold, vivid colors, inscriptions and fine linen—everything is symbolic. In a similar way, our tradition includes robes and stoles that have symbolic meanings. If the priests are dressed this way, how should the people dress when they come to worship? How much thought do you put into what you will wear at church? Of course it’s not a fashion show and the outward things are not as important as the heart…but God is worthy of our best! Give God the glory as you dress your best for Him! Pastor Tim
