Christ Meets Us Where We Are
Commentators note the priest had to go "out of the camp" to meet the outcast. This is seen as a powerful picture of Jesus Christ. As John Gill highlights, Christ leaves the holy place to seek the unclean, going "out of the city" to suffer for us. He takes the initiative to meet us in our brokenness, demonstrating His great readiness to receive and restore sinners.
