*MELCHIZEDEK* (IV)

_Key Bible Text:_
*There is another difference: there were many of those other priests, because they died and could not continue their work. But Jesus lives on forever, and his work as priest does not pass on to someone else.* (Heb 7:23,24 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

According to our studies in Hebrew chapter seven, the first difference with the Priesthood of Jesus, was that God backed it with a vow: *The Lord has made a solemn promise and will not take it back: 'You will be a priest forever.' * This made Jesus the guarantee of a better covenant. 

We don't need to wonder what made the new testament covenant better! The High Priest unlike in the old, does not ever die. He always lives to make intercession for us. The second difference is that because he does not die, he is never to be replaced or changed, unlike the old covenant. There is no possibility of another high priest emerging. It is always going to be Jesus. Hallelujah! 

And so Jesus is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through Him, because He lives forever to plead with God for them. Jesus, then, is the High Priest that meets our needs. He is holy; He has no fault or sin in him; He has been set apart from sinners and raised above the heavens. 

He is not like other high priests; He does not need to offer sacrifices every day for His own sins first and then for the sins of the people. He offered one sacrifice, once and for all, when He offered himself.

*MEDITATION*
*The Law of Moses appoints men who are imperfect to be high priests; but God's promise made with the vow, which came later than the Law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever.* (Hebrews 7:28 (GNB))
