Summary
Hebrews 7 discusses Melchizedek, a mysterious figure without a recorded genealogy. The author highlights that Melchizedek's name, meaning "king of righteousness" and "king of peace," foreshadows Jesus and his titles. The author also emphasizes that Melchizedek's priesthood is perpetual and superior to the Levitical priesthood, which is significant for the Jewish audience as it demonstrates that Jesus' priesthood surpasses the old covenant.
The importance lies in the fact that the old Law could not bring about perfection or righteousness before God. Only the new covenant with Jesus as the Great High Priest can accomplish that. A priest acts as an intermediary between humans and God, and Jesus, having lived a sinless life, qualifies as the representative who brings our case to God. Through Jesus, believers can approach God and have a standing before Him.

Steve Webb 0:37Hebrews chapter five. For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins, he is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and daring, since he also was subjected to weakness. and for this reason, he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself, as well as for the people. and no one assumes this on or on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God as in fact, Aaron was. So also Christ did not glorify himself and becoming High Priest. But the one who glorified him was God who said to him, You are my son, today I have fathered you. and also in another place, God says, You are a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. During his earthly life, Christ offered both requests and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death. and he was heard because of his devotion. Although he was a Son, He learned obedience through the things he suffered. and by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, and He was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek. On this topic, we have much to say and it is difficult to explain since you have become sluggish and learning for though you should in fact, be teachers. By this time. You need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God's utterances, you have gone back to needing milk, not solid food,
