1 Samuel 9:15-10:27; Isaiah 50:1-51:8; 2 Corinthians 11:1-33
You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7:17 NKJV
The fact that there is another priestly order is one of the wonders of God’s plan for humanity. Melchizedek appears in Genesis 14, two thousand years before Christ. A thousand years later David mentions Melchizedek in Psalm 110. Then after another thousand years, the writer to the Hebrews explains the importance of Melchizedek. He was a king and a priest; a king of righteousness and a king of peace and the priest of the most High God. As such, he was a picture of the Lord Jesus and the basis of an unending and unchanging priesthood. —Gary McBride
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong a perfect plea;
A great High Priest whose name is love, who ever lives and pleads for me. —C. Bancroft
