When the people of God were delivered from the bondage of slavery, and Moses led them out to lead them in to a land of promise and blessing, the interim called for High Priests who would go into the presence of God on their behalf and meet with God on behalf of sinful mankind. Boundaries of law were necessary for a people that had no idea it was wrong to not rest from work, so a Sabbath day was required, wrong to sleep with their neighbors wife, wrong to murder, wrong to steel etc. The message of Gods Grace had not yet become the ruling New Covenant.

AuthorI value the Holy Scriptures like a treasure to unfold. They are applicable for real life matters, as well as strengthening the inner man with power. They my Bread of Life, feeding my spirit while transforming me day by day. Anyone who knew my past would hardly recognize me now. The Word of God has made me "wiser than my enemies (Ps. 119:98)" and I expect even more of the same as I continue to embrace the riches of God's Word. Archives
