Furthermore, to properly minister, the high priest had to reverence God as they entered into the Most Holy Place by offering the blood of unblemished bullocks or rams for their sins. Once again God stated that the purpose was, “… to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest’s office” (Exodus 29:1, emphasis added). Now, Jesus is that unblemished lamb that shed His blood, and as we repent, the blood is applied to our heart. “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19). As David was quick to repent when he sinned, we must do the same. Even after we have given our hearts to Jesus, a repentant heart is still necessary to reverence God.
