Exodus 28:29
So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment on his heart, when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them to regular remembrance before the Lord.
Tag: Bearing the Names of Others on Our Hearts
Aaron, the priest, was to enter the Holy of Hollies wearing a breastplate. On the breastplate were 12 special stones. Each stone as a representative of one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the above verse we are told that Aaron is to come into the Holy place to worship God, wearing the breastplate with the names of the sons of Israel (the 12 tribes) on his heart. The purpose was to bring them to regular remembrance before the Lord. We are to be doing the same thing for our brothers and sisters in Christ. We are to take them, on our heart, to God in remembrance. The beauty of having intercession for us is such a great blessing. Christ is constantly interceding for us.
Romans 8:34
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
He takes our names, on His heart, daily to the Father and intercedes for us. What a blessing.
