Hebrews Chapter 7 Summary Melchize-who? Again, the author goes back
to the idea of Jesus as a Jewish high priest; specifically, "a
priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."Why is this
Melchizedek so important?Well, the author explains that Melchizedek
was a guy whose name means "king of righteousness" and "king of
peace." He was never born and he never died (weird), but on the
plus side, that means he got to stay a priest forever.In Genesis,
Melchizedek blessed Abraham and Abraham gave him ten percent of his
money.Jewish law came down while the Levite priests were in power.
But that law didn't do anything to stop sin, did it? In fact, says
Hebrews, Psalm 110 points out that there would be another high
priest coming. One who was just like Melchizedek. One who wasn't
part of the Levi's tribe at all. One who would fix everything.Now,
Jesus wasn't a Levite. He was an ancestor of Jacob's son Judah
(just like King David). No one from Judah's tribe has ever served
as high priest, but the author knows that the high priest that God
appoints is going to be just like Melchizedek. He's not gonna come
by bloodlines, but through the power of God himself.See, says the
author, Jewish law was imperfect. But Jesus is perfect, and he's
come to bring the world a new and better covenant with God.He won't
be like the old priests either who were always dying off and
changing. Jesus gets to hold onto his position forever, which means
anyone who comes to him can be saved at any time.Jesus also never
sinned, so he doesn't have to offer sacrifices for his own bad
deeds like human high priests. He doesn't have to keep burning rams
and goats at the altar for everyone else because he made himself
into a sacrifice by dying on the cross. His work here is done.
