Supremacy of Christ: A Study in Hebrews

Jour 7 sur 13

What does it say? The priesthood of Jesus is compared with that of Melchizedek. What does it mean? The person of Melchizedek is a mysterious figure in the Old Testament. He was the king and priest of Salem, but there is no record of his birth or death. Scripture does say that Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, and he, in turn, blessed Abraham. Jesus is a priest in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron and the Levitical priests. Jesus is both King and Priest, superior to earthly priests in every way. Because His priesthood is permanent, holy, blameless, pure, and perfect, He is able to “save completely” any and all who come to God through Him. How should I respond? We live in a fast-paced society. Americans seem to want everything either mobile or to go. But some things require us to slow down and take a deeper look. When was the last time you stopped to think about the character traits of Christ and praise Him for who He is? Jesus is able to “save completely” and meet the needs in your life because of who He is. Read verses 24-28 again, focusing on the unique character of Christ. Before you ask God to bless your busy day, slow down and meditate on the only One who could take the punishment for your sin. He is worthy of our praise, both publicly and privately.
