Lesson: Serving as Representatives
Bible Truth: God gave detailed instructions for the consecration and service of the priests and required obedience. God judged Nadab and Abihu because they disobeyed his holy commands. (Exodus 29; Leviticus 8–10)
Lesson Focus: To find out how and why the priests were to be consecrated; to learn that sinful priests could not atone for sin; to thank God for sending Jesus, our perfect High Priest and Mediator, to atone for sin.
Memory Verse: Review: Exodus 29:45–46
Discussion Starters:
In the Bible story, God judged Nadab and Abihu for their disobedience? Why does God have to punish disobedience?

Who has atoned for our sins?
