28) Divine Pattern of the Priesthood

“

When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -
Signs of the Times, January 25, 1910, par. 18

AIM: (1) To show the Divine Pattern of the Priesthood. The heavenly ministry of Christ and the earthly ministry of Aaron in the Old Testament and the royal priesthood of the church in the New Testament.

(2) To show that the gospel is everlasting. The grace of Christ available befor and after the cross

(3) To show that the ministry of Jesus for us in Heaven is as essential to the plan of salvation as is the cross.

Outline: Christ has been ministering His grace from the fall of man. This ministry was symbolised in the Old Testament through sacrifices and offerings and a human priesthood. Yet once Christ came and ratified the covenant the earthly symbols were no longer needed and we can access the same grace through faith in the Word of God about Christ’s ministry in heaven for us. The heavenly ministry is the invisible source and the earthly ministry in the visible channel.
