Hebrews 2:17 says that Jesus is our merciful High Priest before God. 3:14 says our great High Priest has entered heaven. Hebrews 4:14-16 tells us this great High Priest understands our weaknesses and that because of this grace, we can come boldly to the throne of God. Hebrews 5:8-9 says God qualified Jesus as the great High Priest, through his obedience. Then Hebrews 7:16 sums it up - "Jesus became a Priest, not by meeting the physical requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed." Excellent discussion today!
Never thought about the King of Sodom offering to give Abraham all these riches at the same time Melchizedek offers peace …reminds me a bit of Satan offering “riches” while Jesus offers us Peace.

I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Hebrews doesn’t invite us to make things up where Genesis is quiet, but it does teach us to pay attention to the quiet.
Well said. The quiet sometimes speaks loudly if we take time to listen.
Proof again and again, that the Lord came to fulfill the Law. "Before Abraham was, I AM". Amen. Thank you for breaking it down so succinctly!
Fantastic post!!!
