Christ in the OT

1Then he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron,^(A) Nadab, and Abihu, and^(B) seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2Moses^(C) alone shall come near to the LORD, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him." 3Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and^(D) all the rules.

We all need a mediator between us and God because we are all sinful people and enemies of God.
I wonder why Moses was allowed though because he was human also?

He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve^(G) pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.

Not only do we need a mediator but we need a sacrifice to bring peace to our relationship with God. Something has to die so that we don't have to.

6And^(H) Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. 7Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said,^(I) "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient." 8^(J) And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."

We need blood on us to be clean. Blood on the alter satisfying God and blood on us to make us clean in His sight and as New Testament believers clean in reality.

It is interesting though that in the introduction of the covenant of the law there is still a mediator, sacrifice, and blood being spilt. It was never a question in Gods mind of us keeping the law because form the very beginning the agreement taking place to enter in to this covenant with God there was blood being spilt on our behalf.

Thank you Jesus that you have completely fulfilled all of these things in reality and we don't have to live with a picture. In your name I pray. I ask that you would walk paths with me tomorrow and keep me safe and from willful sins. Let me be quick to repent and ready to forgive. Allow me a glimpse of your love, beauty , and fearful holiness. Bring the lost to salvation and give me boldness, wisdom, and humility of mind and speech. Bring Hud and Tammi and Karri to salvation. Allow my mom to see the folly of her beliefs and let Robert be aware of her folly. I pray that he would see the truth like C.S. Lewis. In Jesus name keep me pure and dedicated tomorrow. Help me sleep and protect my mind and heart and emotions tonight. Let me find your comfort and security of worth in you and keep me from seeking my worth and fulfillment in men. In Jesus name I pray these things, Amen.
