We trace the brief, strange story of Melchizedek in Genesis 14 and show how Hebrews 7–8 uses it to reveal Jesus as the eternal High Priest who brings a better covenant. The heart-level shift from law to life leads to a simple challenge: give God not a tenth, but your whole self.

• Melchizedek’s role and meaning in Genesis 14
• Why Jesus’ priesthood surpasses Levi’s
• Once-for-all sacrifice versus daily offerings
• Earthly copies versus the true heavenly sanctuary
• New covenant promised by Jeremiah 31
• God’s law written on hearts, not stone
• Practical surrender under the new covenant
