Having briefly considered the ordination and beginning ministry of Aaron as High Priest, I would like to contrast him with Christ who is now our great High Priest under the New Covenant. For several chapters here in Hebrews, God is showing that Jesus is a superior High Priest. I don’t have time to go through it verse by verse, but from select verses let me show 4 ways Jesus is the Greater High Priest. 1) Aaron was a sinner who needed atonement, but Christ is a sinless high priest. [5:1-3] 2) Aaron offered daily sacrifices that could not make the people perfect, but Christ offered one sacrifice that is able to save to the uttermost. [7:11, 18-19; 10:1-4] 3) Aaron ministered in the tabernacle built by man, while Christ ministers in the heavenly sanctuary. [8:1-5] 4) Aaron’s priestly ministry was temporary, while Christ’s priesthood is permanent and eternal.
