Who is Melchizedek, and why does this mysterious figure from Genesis matter so much to the book of Hebrews?
This week on 100% Maybe, we work through Hebrews 5–7 and unpack what it means for Jesus to be our Great High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek.” We trace Melchizedek from his brief appearance with Abraham in Genesis 14 to Psalm 110, look at why Abraham gave him a tenth, and dig into how we should hold this interesting mystery.
But the point of these chapters isn't simply solving the mystery of Melchizedek. Hebrews is showing us why Jesus is greater.
Unlike the priests who came through the line of Aaron, Jesus' priesthood isn't based on ancestry, it is based on “the power of an indestructible life.” He is a permanent High Priest who always lives to intercede for us. Because of Him, we have a better hope and can confidently draw near to God.
Along the way, we talk about the Old Testament priesthood, Psalm 110, spiritual maturity, the warnings of Hebrews 5–6, and why all of this theology matters for ordinary people trying to follow Jesus today.
Jesus is greater, and because our High Priest lives, our hope is secure.
