Commentary on Exodus 28:38

The plate is 'upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things.' Even Israel's holy offerings contain iniquity (sin-stained holiness)—our best works are tainted. The high priest bears this iniquity, making holy things acceptable. Christ alone bears the imperfection in our worship, transforming sin-stained service into acceptable offerings. Through Him, our 'spiritual sacrifices are acceptable to God' (1 Peter 2:5). The plate 'continually upon his forehead' shows Christ's constant cleansing of our imperfect worship.
