A Lesson From Aaron's Death
Date: June 24, 2016
How Aaron died should be a lesson to
all workers of God. Numbers 20:28, “And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments,
and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the
mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.”
Miriam and Aaron conspired against
Moses. God punished Miriam and left Aaron unpunished. Numbers chapter 12
details this account. Aaron carved a calf as an idol. He took the people of
Israel into idolatry when Moses went to the mountain to receive the
commandments from the Lord, and he was up there for forty days. In Exodus 32,
Aaron who made the golden calf was spared while those who worshipped the idol,
about three thousand of them, died.
Aaron was the first ordained priest,
but Jesus Christ could not be a priest according to the order of Aaron. Christ
became a high priest in the order of Melchizedek. In the heroes of faith in
Hebrews chapter 11, Aaron the priest's name was absent but Rahab the harlot's
name was mentioned. It is possible to be ordained as a worker in the vineyard
of God but have lost true ministry.
Aaron the high priest was still
in-charge of worship though he led Israel into the sin of idolatry. One may
maintain titles but might have lost the mandate. Such was Aaron. Why Aaron did
not die with the three thousand? Why he suffered nothing while Miriam became
leprous?
My answer to these is that, it is
because of the priestly garment he wore. On the day of Aaron's death, Moses
stripped him of that garment and gave it to Eleazar the son of Aaron.
Immediately, Aaron fell dead. Every leader should therefore be careful of what
he does while in office. Many leaders are alive not because they are pleasing
the Lord but the assignment the Lord has given them.
How you end your God-given
assignment matters. Live a life of purity and do your utmost best to honour God
moment by moment. And you will make it to heaven. Peace to you.
