A daily devotional through the Bible speaking with God as Adam and Eve may have in the garden east of Eden. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com

summary

God put the priesthood in place to set aside a specific tribe to try to help the Israelites understand the importance of remaining separate and holy. He hoped they would understand the importance of purity in their lives by living and working within the tabernacle and Temple. They didn’t. The tabernacle and the Temple became just as corrupt as the rest of the nation with its bribes, merchants profiting from selling sacrifices, dishonest scales, and the injustice within the gates.

So God came to earth as man. He came as one of us to become the perfect priest. He came as one unmarred by sin and evil. He came as the only one who could show us how to live free from evil and unwilling to bow to the temptations that came from every direction. Did He feel the pull of Satan? Yes. As a fully human being, He was subject to temptation just as you. But He never succumbed to them. He was sinless and so He can stand as your high priest.
