Hebrews 5:1-4 – Among Men
There has only been one earthly priesthood in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. And that priesthood could only come through the line and genealogy of Aaron – and although they were divinely appointed they were still men – and herein was the weakness of the earthly priesthood. God no longer meets with man at the mercy seat of earth, but meets with man at the mercy seat in heaven.
