The first thing one looks at when meets us is our head and what we’re wearing on our head the turban signifies Christ as the glory of perfect righteousness, and Christ as our boast. The turban of fine linen signifies Christ as the glory of perfect righteousness and Christ as our boast (see Phil. Christ has been processed while on earth, and in His humanity He is qualified to be our perfect righteousness covering us before God. The tunic of fine woven linen which the priest had to wear signifies the covering of Christ as our perfect righteousness in a humanity that was processed, dealt with (Rev. All these are very significant, including their composition (the materials they are made of), the way to be worn, and their application in our Christian experience. The Significance of the Priestly Garments and their Application in our Christian LifeĪll the priests wore linen trousers, a tunic, a girding sash, and a turban over the tunic the high priest wore a robe, the ephod, the shoulder pieces, and the breastplate, and on the turban he wore an engraved plate (see Exo. Now let us see the fine details and their significance. In a nutshell, we as priests have to wear Christ and the church as our priestly garments when we enter into the presence of God. 28-29, I wouldn’t see how these priestly garments apply to our Christian life, but praise the Lord for those who went before us and especially for the ministry of the age which opens up this matter and applies it to our daily living! In this blog post we want to look into the many details of the clothing of the priests these details and pieces are very significant for us in our experience as priests to God today. To be honest, if I would read Exo.

Today we are set aside as priests to God whenever we “wear Christ” by living Christ and expressing Christ to magnify Christ. The priest couldn’t just go to God in the Holy of Holies wearing anything he wanted he had to wear a particular set of clothes to be qualified to enter the Holy of Holies. The priests in the Old Testament wore the priestly garment, something which was ordained by God in detail both in its making and in its wearing. And because they were not priests, their service could not be set apart unto the Lord in a special way like the priests’ service.All believers in Christ are priests to God, and as such we need to have a certain kind of diet (Christ as the reality of all the offerings and as the bread of the presence) and we need to have a particular kind of clothing, something that will set us aside from the rest as being priests to God. Individual Israelites could not enter the holiest places of the sanctuary and enjoy the fullness of God’s holy presence.

However, the old covenant priesthood was not the ideal. Having the priests as old covenant mediators was a great benefit to the people, for the priests enabled the people to worship the Lord without being put to death. Only he could enter the holiest portion of the tabernacle and temple-the Holy of Holies-and then only once a year, on the Day of Atonement (Lev. The high priest in particular served this mediatorial role. The old covenant priests stood between the presence of God in His sanctuary and the ordinary Israelites, bearing the blood of the sacrifices and atoning for the people’s sin so that they would not be destroyed. This setting apart was necessary, for only the priests could enter the inner parts of the tabernacle in order to offer the sacrifices that would cover the sin of the people (Num. In today’s passage, for example, we see that the priests were set apart for service through the anointing of oil, through the sacrifice of animals, and even by receiving special clothing (Lev. Many Old Testament passages describe the work of the old covenant priesthood. The chief type or foreshadowing figure of the final mediator was the old covenant priest, particularly the high priest of Israel. Under the old covenant, however, the people of God knew the identity of the Mediator only in types and shadows. In this new covenant era, we have the benefit of knowing who the Mediator is with clarity. Thus, we find salvation in and through the mediatorial work of Christ. The Holy Spirit who regenerates us is also the “Spirit of Christ” (Rom. The one mediator between God and men is the “man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. It is through the mediation of Christ that our sins are forgiven and we receive His righteousness (2 Cor. Perhaps more fundamental than any of these answers is that we must have a mediator in order to be rightly related to God. We need the Holy Spirit to regenerate us (John 3:1–8). We need to believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31). We need the forgiveness of sins and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness (Rom. What is our fundamental need if we are to enjoy a right relationship to our Creator? That question can be answered in multiple ways.
