Jesus, Our High Priest: The Order of Melchizedek

24 minutes | Tuesday, 12 March 2024

Hebrews establishes that Jesus is our Great High Priest. But there are some questions the readers need addressed. Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi, but of Judah. How could Jesus be a High Priest when He was not from the priestly tribe? Hebrews points to a different order of priests - the priesthood of Melchizedek. Who was he? Dr. John explains who he was and why his priesthood is greater than that of Levi. Jesus is not disqualified as High Priest but magnified greater than any earthly priesthood.Jesus, Our High Priest: A priest stands as intercessor between God and humanity. The priest offers prayers, sacrifices, and makes intercessions on behalf of the people. They act as mediators between the human and Divine. It becomes readily obvious why Jesus is described as the Ultimate Priest. In this 10-mesage series, Dr. John walks us through Hebrews chapters 5-7 and describes the priestly office Jesus performs on our behalf. Listen, not just for understanding, but for praise and gratitude to Jesus who still serves on our behalf.
