Aaron, who is a type of Christ wears an ephod as part of his
priestly apparel, which points to a great spiritual truth. On this
ephod Aaron bore the names of the twelve tribes before the Lord.
Aron shall bear their names (read Ex. 28.12)
Aaron was a type of Christ as the great High Priest of our
profession. What Aaron was to Israel, Jesus is to us. What Aaron did
for Israel, Jesus did for us. The names of the twelve tribes were
engraved and placed on Aaron's breast, and whenever he appeared
before God in the holiest of all, the light of the Shekinah rested
upon them, and God read them in His own light. Nothing was allowed
to come between the names and the mercy seat but the blood as he
sprinkled it, or the smoke of the incense as he waved it before the
Lord. 0h! beloved, Jesus has our names on His breast. The light of
the Father's countenance rests upon them. There is nothing between
them and God but the blood that atoned for our sins and the smoke of
incense which perfumes our prayers. Jesus constantly presents us to
God, for He has entered into heaven now to appear in the presence of
God for us. What a sweet thought! My name is on my Saviour's heart,
my cause is in His hands, and he ever takes the deepest interest in
my welfare! 0h! that I would only love Him more!
