Listen "Exodus 29: Ordained in ☧, Blood on Ear, Thumb, and Toe"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Steven Theiss, retired LCMS pastor, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 29.
“You shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet.” Ordination ceremonies just aren’t the same anymore! Exodus 29 describes a massive seven-day feast full of smoke, water, and blood. The emphasis however is not adherence to a list of rules, but God’s promise: “I will dwell among the people.” With Christ’s blood and water, we are a new creation head to toe. In Christ, our ordination is so holy that it spills over into every moment of life—and even beyond it.
