And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
Hebrews 5:4 [NKJV]
Given the way he lived his life, few would have expected Aaron to be anointed as the first high priest. It would be surprising if Aaron himself believed that he was qualified for such a role. After all, it was he who presided over the golden calf incident, knowing that what he did was evil in the sight of God. Nevertheless, the LORD names Aaron as the chief high priest, anointing him in front of all the people for the critical work of temple duty.
Do you consider yourself unqualified for Kingdom service? If you are truly saved, then nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, we know that blatant, unrepentant sinfulness can be present & welcome in our lives if we expect to be used by God. But the LORD calls us to repentance. And when we truly repent, the grace of Christ Jesus is sufficient to enable us to serve as He commands.
Be encouraged, Jose
