Hebrews 7:1-7 - Why Melchizedek is the Better Priest

Title: Hebrews 7:1-7
Date: Nov 17, 2002
Speaker: Pastor Antonye Holyde
Topics: King, Melchizedek, Priest

Passage: Hebrews 7:1-7

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated " king of righteousness, " and then also king of Salem, meaning " king of peace, "
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
5 And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;
6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.
