We see Moses and Aaron stand between those that had done wrong and God. Sometimes our job as a Christian is be a mediator. Sometimes God has called us to intercede on His behalf for those that are in trouble, that are hurt, that are needful.
And sometimes, like Aaron today, we are called to stand in the midst of the need and intercede to God on their behalf. Maybe we'll never be in a situation as extreme at this in the text today (let's hope not), but we can do the exactly same thing in our life every day. We can intercede for those in need.
