The
call comes from God - to Aaron, to Christ (17:5; Hebrews 5:4-6). Christ
is both the Offering for sin and the Great High Priest (Hebrews 5:7-10;
2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 7:25). We look at ourselves, and we say,
'We perish, we are lost, we are dead' (17:12). We look to Christ, and
everything changes (John 3:16; Luke 19:10; Ephesians 2:1). 'Service' and
'reward' (18:31): The Lord blesses those who serve Him faithfully each
day (1 Corinthians 15:58). Building on Christ, we seek to do work of
lasting value - 'gold, silver precious stones'. We dare not rest content
with shallow superficiality - 'wood, hay, straw'. There is 'a reward'
for those whose 'work' is 'built on the Foundation, which is Jesus
Christ' (1 Corinthians 3:10-15).
