Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place,
he will bear the names of his sons of Israel over his heart
on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the LORD.
(Exodus 28:29)

Thoughts on Today’s Verse

In a symbolic way, the Priest had all the people of Israel “on his heart when he entered the Holy place.” Jesus, our ultimate Priest, had our sins on his back and our forgiveness on his heart when he went to the cross for us.
