“No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the Lord” (21:21). The instructions for priests (such as who, when, and how they could offer sacrifices) were ways of symbolizing the distance between a polluted, distorted world and a completely holy God. God made a way for the Israelites to temporarily approach him, never forgetting this gap, yet his plan was always to send the Messiah to heal them at the source.

“They must not go near the curtain or approach the altar” (21:23). Now, Jesus has torn the curtain open. By faith in him, all of us can approach our holy God, knowing our sins are forgiven and our wounds healed.
