John 1 "Full of Grace"

John 1 - Brandon Hatmaker - "Full of Grace"

How perfectly does the sacred garments of Aaron describe the Grace of Christ discussed in John 1?

Exodus 28 says, "Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests. Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron, to give him dignity and honor. Tell all the skilled men to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.”

It’s not our dignity and honor. It’s His blood that covers us. Not a blood of a sinner or fallen saint, but that of Jesus, who was with God in the beginning, who was (and is) God (vs.1), and who became man and made His dwelling among us.

“We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14
