Aaron is a real man. Not more or less. He is real and he is himself. There was a time he tried to be what people expected or what he thought would be acceptable. Aaron learned to be real by learning about himself. This is a reading he would identify with.
Proverbs chapter 3
My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands; For many days and years of life and peace, will they bring you.
Let not kindness and fidelity leave you; bind them around your neck;
Then will you win favor and good esteem before God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes, honor the Lord and turn away from evil;
This will mean health ofr your flesh and vigor for your bones.
Honor the Lor with your wealth, with first fruits of your produce;
Then will your barns be filled with grain, with new wine your vats will overflow.
The discipline of the Lord, my son, disdain not; spurn not his reproof;
For whom the Lord loves he reproves and chastises the son he favors.
Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!
Amen
My son Aaron has seen the face of God, and for that I am grateful.
Peace
Aaron's Dad
