Aaron and God's Grace

While studying the book of Leviticus, I came across an observation that I had not considered before. Aaron, the very person who coordinated the creation of the golden calf and encouraged its worship in Exodus 32, is the person God appoints as the high priest. “Here the gracious forgiveness of God is most clear. Aaron, the chief sinner, is appointed chief mediator between God and the people.” 1

What an incredible demonstration of God’s grace and further encouragement that He uses the least of us to accomplish His great purposes.
