Hi there, to those of you joining
us today in our journey through this book, we are doing this to remind
ourselves why we should never lose faith but always be confident in our God.
How confident are you in your faith is the question that started this quest.
Hebrews 7
We are reminded of the greatness of our Lord.
He is compared to Melchizedek who was a great priest. Our Lord from chapter 5 of this book has been likened to Melchizedek and even called to be a priest in the order of Melchizedek. In Genesis chapter
14 Abram after he had rescued Lot is met by the priest and blessed by this
priest; who was a great and revered priest.
As we read we learn that our Lord instituted a superior
priesthood. A priesthood he holds permanently.
A priesthood that guarantees a
better covenant, for us.
Remember this book was written to Christ-Followers who still
believed they needed to follow the law.
How do we apply what we have read in
this chapter to us?
Just like them we also never again need to earn our
salvation.
Our Lord is the ultimate sacrifice.
He died once and for all, all
sins, all imperfections, all mistakes, all was dealt with once and for all.
