This week, Pastor Jason Mayhall continues leading Redemption Bible Church in the "Out of the Spotlight" sermon series, a study of several less well-known characters in the Bible. Melchizedek, the king of Salem (which later became Jerusalem), appears in only a few verses in the entire Bible and yet Jesus is called a High Priest after his name! What did Melchizedek do that was so wonderful? In Genesis 13, Abram and his nephew, Lot, part ways. Some time later a battle broke out in the land, and Lot found himself caught in the crossfire. He and his family were carried off by one of the armies, so Abram had to rescue him. After defeating the army and rescuing Lot, Abram was undoubtedly exhausted and certainly proud of his victory. He had also acquired a large amount of booty, which it was customary in those days for the victors in battle to share among themselves. Abram was physically exhausted and facing the twin dangers of pride and covetousness. But God cared for Abram, and spoke to another servant of His to help him. Melchizedek met all of Abram's needs without knowing anything about them because he did what God told him to do. The best servant is the one who can turn our attention away from ourselves and our accomplishments to the Lord Himself.
