OUR FATHER WHO CALLS PRIESTS

In contrast to the heavenly high priest, the book of Hebrews chapter 5 verses 1 - 4 describes a high priest from among the people who could sympathize with those he served because he shared their weaknesses but that the sacrifices  he offered for others, he needed for himself.

1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. 3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

Amen.
