When Aaron made a golden calf and set up an idol for the people to worship, he was the last person God's people would have expected to fall into such wickedness.
For Aaron was chosen by God and used mightily to help lead His people to freedom from oppression. He had been made by God a great public speaker and mightily used by God to lead His people in God's ways. He had proclaimed the Gospel of liberation from Egypt, a type of Christ's Gospel.
And yet he fell into the worst of sin - idolatry - and led the people into God's wrath and judgment.
How important that Believers not excuse God's annointed when they lead us astray, but rather rebuke them as Moses did. How important that God's Word, and not the standing of great men of God, be the standard by which every matter is judged.

How beautiful is the contrast of our Lord Jesus, who never sins, who never leads us astray, who never makes a false step, and who never allowed the pleasing of the crowd to tempt Him toward wickedness.
How blessed that our great High Priest is perfectly Righteous and His leadership cannot be gainsayed, for He ever leadeth us in paths of Righteousness for His great Name's sake!
