Hi Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where we are in our O. T. class\u200b,\u200b studying the Tabernacle and reading about Aaron’s priestly garments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aaron bore the names of Israel on two onyx stones (one on each shoulder), and the names of the children of Israel were on them and on the12 different jeweled stones on his breastplate. God instructed Moses in \u200bEx. 28:29, “And Aaron shall bear the breast plate of judgment upon his heart when he goeth into the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually\u200b.\u200b “<\/span><\/p>\n

After reading this\u200b,\u200b my mind started reflecting on what Jesus did and is \u200bstill \u200bdoing for us. Jesus is our high priest now.\u200b \u200b I believe that Paul said the law was a shadow \u200b(a type\u200b)\u200b of good things to come. As we know\u200b,\u200b the Old Covenant \u200bwas an outward \u200bcovenant \u200band the new Covenant is a matter of the heart (inward). Aaron could not have Israel’s names \u200breally \u200bwritten on his heart, but Jesus can. Jesus is ever before his Father\u200b,\u200b continually bearing our names in his heart before his Daddy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had to stop there and cry and thank God for his Son. Whatever good or bad times we go though, Jesus has our name on his heart before God’s throne. His judgments are right and true because they come directly from the Father concerning each and every \u200b \u200bone of His children. And to think that our names were written in the \u200bLamb’s \u200bbook \u200bof life \u200bbefore the foundation of world is very humbling, just like the children of Israel’s names were written on the precious stones \u200beven \u200bbefore Aaron came into the holy place. This new testament is alive and it is life. We are lively, precious stones on Jesus’ heart.\u200b \u200b It’s really something to think about who we are, what we are, and what we mean to the Son and \u200bthe \u200bFather. Jesus and the Father think of us daily. \u200b \u200bHis mercies are new every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It feels different going through the O \u200bld Testament this time\u200b. F\u200bor me, I feel I have more of a grateful and thankful attitude. Reading your book about the Father and Son really gives you a thankful spirit when reading about the Law. There \u200bare\u200b a lot of wonderful things to take in about the Law concerning Jesus (our brother).<\/span><\/p>\n

There is so much more to say about the feelings from reading your book and the law, but the feelings are \u200b \u200b”better felt than told”, I heard one say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love always,<\/span><\/p>\n
