Every high priest is taken from the people and put in charge of things that relate to God for their sake, in order to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. The high priest is able to deal gently with the ignorant and those who are misled since he himself is prone to weakness. Because of his weakness, he must offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for the people. No one takes this honor for themselves but takes it only when they are called by God, just like Aaron. In the same way Christ also didn’t promote himself to become high priest. Instead, it was the one who said to him, You are my Son. Today I have become your Father, as he also says in another place, You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 5:1-6, CEB)
This passage is interesting. It tells us the High Priest is able to deal gently with the ignorant and those misled, since the High Priest is also prone to weakness. High Priests are able to deal gently with the ignorant… Interesting
And all need to atone for their sinfulness, even the priests, because we all put our pants on the same way, one leg at a time.
No one is better than anyone else. We all need grace, and we all fall short.
So love like Jesus and lift others up, and do not think better of yourself than you ought.
