GENESIS 14
ABRAM RESCUES LOT
In Genesis 13, Lot chooses to live in a fertile land closer to the wicked people. A war breaks out in the land where Lot is living, and he is captured. Word of Lot’s capture makes its way to Abram. Abram decides to rescue Lot, and he is victorious in his mission!
When Abram returns, the King of Salem, Melchizedek, blesses him and brings him bread and wine. Melchizedek serves as an image of Jesus, breaking bread, serving wine, and living as both a priest and a king.
Melchizedek was both a king and a priest, as is Jesus, the Messiah. The name Melchizedek means King of Righteousness, and he was also called King of Salem, which means peace. Jesus is also considered to be the Righteous King and the Prince of Peace. Melchizedek is also mentioned in Psalm 110 and Hebrews 7.
STUDY QUESTIONS
Melchizedek is both a priest and a king (Genesis 14:18). Why is that significant, and how does it point us to Jesus?
