"Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD."

Exodus 28: 36


What I got from Jesus today is: Be holy, your first priority!

What is your first priority in life? You may have various answers according to your need. But, do you know what is the three most attack areas to a human being from Satan? If you know that, then you should know what are the top three priority of most human beings. Well, you know what I want to say now. Yes, it is that simple three words: Money, Power and Sex.

That was the three areas Satan attacked Jesus after He fasted for 40 days before He started His ministry. Many Christians have been stuck on these three areas and can never start any ministry to serve the Lord. More Christians are being attacked in these three areas bringing lots of destruction to their personal life, their family, their church, their society or even their country.

The word "HOLY TO THE LORD" of Exodus 28: 36 in most Bible versions is the only one verse being bold, some in large size word. When I was young I did not understand that because in the Chinese Bible the word is real big and bold. Every time I read it I had a kind of WOW feeling.

Jesus draws me today to 1 Peter 1: 13-16,
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”


God commanded Aaron to be holy so that he could be an example for others to imitate the holiness. John Stott says the same thing in a New Testament way using one word to conclude his own ministry and life purpose and that is "Christlikeness". We follow and imitate Jesus and that is holy.

We know later that two or Aaron's son did not follow God's holy order and were burned to death by fire. That was a very severe warning.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to follow you daily that we can have a chance to be holy, to be more like you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
