AARON <580504> Hebrews 5:4 (c) Aaron is a type of Christ in many

ways. As
he entered into the Holy of Holies once a year with the blood of an
animal, so our
Lord Jesus entered into heaven by His own blood, not just once a year,
but
forever. Aaron bore the names of the twelve tribes on his shoulders, so
the Lord
Jesus carries His people and their burdens on His shoulders. Aaron bore
the
breastplate of twelve stones over his heart, and our Savior bears His own
children
on His heart. Aaron wore a gold band on his forehead bearing the
inscription
"Holiness to the Lord." So our Lord Jesus was holy, pure and perfect in
all His
ways, words and character. Aaron pleaded with God for the people, and
pleaded
with the people for God. So our Lord Jesus "ever liveth to make
intercession for
us" and appears in God's presence for us. He also reveals God to us.
Aaron was
chosen by God to be the High Priest, and God chose Christ to be our
High Priest.
Aaron's garments were prescribed by God and were called holy garments.
So the
garment of our Lord Jesus is called "the robe of righteousness, the
garments of
salvation" ( <236110>Isaiah 61:10).
