Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

No, I have made spotless by the blood of the LAMB.

VIII. MAIN BODY:

Leviticus 21:21 (King James Version)

No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

We are referring or talking to the one's already inside the priesthood because if you come and approach GOD having all these blemishes GOD will cleanse you if you will come with all your heart. He is the LORD who cleanses us. He is our JEHOVAH QUADASH. If you come with all your heart to GOD, He will cleanse you.

Leviticus 21:8 (Amplified Bible)

You shall consecrate him therefore, for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy to you, for I the Lord Who sanctifies you am holy.

A. A priest that has a blemish can't come near to offer

"No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire:"

Blemish or "mum mum" meaning stain, physical or moral blemish. Stain or blemish pertains to sin and those living in sin.

Remember the LORD have already delivered us from every blemish there is, or any wickedness and sin and all sin's effects: death, sickness/diseases, law, law's curse/death, etc.

Jude 1:23-24 (Amplified Bible)

[Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality.

Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—

Isaiah 1:18-19 (Amplified Bible)

Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

The question now is if you will accept the offer of GOD's GRACE in your life, or refuse and rebel, that's the sin that will bring you to hell, the rejection of the LORD JESUS CHRIST as LORD, MASTER and SAVIOR.

Isaiah 1:20 (Amplified Bible)

But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

Sword in the bible signifies death or drought. No wonder unbelievers are walking dead, zombies, without relationship with GOD, separated from GOD, which is spiritual death. It's not the blame is on GOD, but they have refused, rebelled and rejected GOD's offer of salvation and grace to save their lives. They pretended their lives are ok and alright and they intended in their hearts by way of idolatry to reach out to GOD somehow by their own strength and principles of life that can never save.

Acts 4:12 (Amplified Bible)

And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

John 14:6 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Leviticus 21:6 (Amplified Bible)

They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.

Leviticus 21:8 (Amplified Bible)

You shall consecrate him therefore, for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy to you, for I the Lord Who sanctifies you am holy.

B. A priest that has a blemish can't offer bread of his GOD

"he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. "

Bread of GOD is the offering that will please GOD. JESUS is the Bread of Life and we can only please GOD by coming to Him by faith.

Matthew 4:4 (Amplified Bible)

But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

John 6:33-35 (Amplified Bible)

For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

Then they said to Him, Lord, give us this bread always (all the time)!

Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).

Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible)

But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

Yet simple it is, very simple and in it's simplicity, it has been robbed of it's power, the LORD JESUS CHRIST because it's considered as foolish.

1 Corinthians 1:27-31 (Amplified Bible)

[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.

And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,

So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.

But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].

So then, as it is written, Let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:18-21 (Amplified Bible)

For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.

For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.

Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?

For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).

Only one way to be saved, that is to hear the LORD JESUS CHRIST being preached as the Gospel of GOD and come and approach GOD with faith in your heart, accept Him as LORD and SAVIOR.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities so that Your Strength and Power of CHRIST may rest and dwell upon me.
