“What should we learn from the life of Aaron?”……Aaron was born into a family of Levites during the time of Israel's enslavement in Egypt. The Israelites were considered the dregs of society among the Egyptians who used them as slaves

Exodus 1:14

They made their lives bitter, forcing them to mix mortar and make bricks and do all the work in the fields. They were ruthless in all their demands.

To add to their burden, Pharaoh forced upon them population control, ordering the murder of any male babies that might be born to them.…Exodus 1:15-16…Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: "When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver.(Hebrew look upon the two stones; perhaps the reference is to a birthstool.)If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live."

Aaron, his sister, Miriam, and their parents were probably very apprehensive when baby Moses was born. They knew that he was under a death sentence, so in order to protect him, his mother had set him adrift in a basket, with Miriam watching, until Pharaoh's daughter snatched him out of the water and took him to raise as her own. Aaron grew up knowing he had a brother, although he could not share his life with him, so he must have felt relief when he was finally able to have a relationship with Moses

Exodus 4:27

Now the Lord had said to Aaron, "Go out into the wilderness to meet Moses." So Aaron went and met Moses at the mountain of God, and he embraced him.

This indicates that God directed Aaron to walk back into Moses' life.…God had taken Moses down several life paths, giving him the finest education the Egyptians had to offer, which enabled him to be used to write the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible).

Acts 7:22

Moses was taught all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in both speech and action.

God prepared him to be the deliverer of His people, Israel, by giving him a sympathetic heart towards their plight

Exodus 2:11-15…Many years later, when Moses had grown up, he went out to visit his own people, the Hebrews, and he saw how hard they were forced to work. During his visit, he saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Hebrews.After looking in all directions to make sure no one was watching, Moses killed the Egyptian and hid the body in the sand. The next day, when Moses went out to visit his people again, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. "Why are you beating up your friend?" Moses said to the one who had started the fight. The man replied, "Who appointed you to be our prince and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed that Egyptian yesterday?"Then Moses was afraid, thinking, "Everyone knows what I did." And sure enough, Pharaoh heard what had happened, and he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in the land of Midian.When Moses arrived in Midian, he sat down beside a well

.Moses had grown up in the palace of Pharaoh in a life of privilege; Aaron, on the other hand, had grown up in a hut in a life of poverty and persecution. Though their experiences were different, Scripture records that they were together in their faith and trust in the true God, so they were obedient to His will.…Exodus 4:28-30…Moses then told Aaron everything the Lord had commanded him to say. And he told him about the miraculous signs the Lord had commanded him to perform. Then Moses and Aaron returned to Egypt and called all the elders of Israel together. Aaron told them everything the Lord had told Moses, and Moses performed the miraculous signs as they watched.

Moses argued with God, because he lacked confidence in his ability to speak, so God appointed Aaron to be the spokesman for Moses

Exodus 4:14-16

Then the Lord became angry with Moses. "All right," he said. "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you.15 Talk to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will instruct you both in what to do.16 Aaron will be your spokesman to the people. He will be your mouthpiece, and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say.

God charged these two brothers:

Exodus 4:16

Aaron will be your spokesman to the people. He will be your mouthpiece, and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say.

In this directive, God was speaking not only literally to both of these men, but He was also speaking prophetically of Aaron's descendant, John, the son of Elizabeth and Zachariasabout whom He said,

Luke 1:13

But the angel said, "Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John. about whom He said in Luke 1:17

He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,(See Mal 4:5-6).and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.", “It is he who will go [as a forerunner] before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord”.…From Aaron, we learn the lessons of brotherly love, humility, loyalty, faithfulness, and willingness to serve. Aaron loved his brother, and he was willing to step up to the plate and serve the Lord, even when his brother was reluctant

Exodus 4:10

But Moses pleaded with the Lord, "O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled."

He realized that it was Moses who was called to deliver God's people, and not he, so he humbled himself and submitted to Moses' leading. Like Aaron, we are called by God to follow the leaders He has ordained, submitting to them in humility and a spirit of service.

Aaron was faithful to God, even though he stumbled, as in the incident of the golden calf, falling back into the ways of the Egyptians

Exodus 32:4

Then Aaron took the gold, melted it down, and molded it into the shape of a calf. When the people saw it, they exclaimed, "O Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of the land of Egypt!"

But God will use us even when we have lapses of faith if we repent and turn back to Him. He is faithful to forgive us our sin

1 John 1:9

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

and "remember it no more"

Hebrews 8:12

And I will forgive their wickedness,and I will never again remember their sins."
