Aaron and his sons were chosen as priests to represent people before God. They were responsible for sacrifices as God instructed, reminding us to approach Him with reverence. When they followed God’s exact instructions, He demonstrated His approval through holy fire consuming the offering, showing that obedience matters. But Nadab and Abihu disrespected God by offering unauthorized "strange fire," leading to their immediate death—a warning against taking God lightly or disobeying His holiness. These chapters also show how God uses priests and church leaders to teach, guide, and offer sacrifices, pointing ahead to Jesus as the ultimate High Priest. Today, we approach God not through Old Testament priests but through Christ. We are all called to honour God deeply while being mindful of His holiness in our lives.
