Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                              “The Great King-Priest”
                                       Hebrews  7:1-10

• Look at V-4  “Just think how great he was…”
•  Abraham lived in 2000 BC, where Mel is mentioned as the first High Priest 
• 1000 yrs later, David brings to light the significance of Mel, when he writes Psalm 110:4; this remarkable statement occurs at a time when the Levitical priesthood had been established for about 350 yrs. 
• Turn to Gen 14:17-20 

               Five Great Qualities that define the King-Priest:

1.           Royalty

 

 

 

2.         Righteousness 

• Jesus sought his fathers will: Mt. 26:39,42

 

 

 

3.         Peace

            Life is a search for peace; we seek it by:

          1)      Avoidance: Run from reality.

          2)      Denial: we deny there is not a problem.

          3)      Compromise: we don’t take a stand.

•  Righteousness comes before peace; Rom 5:1

 

4.          Chosen

•  An argument from silence; what isn’t said is just as important as what is said.

 

 

 

 

 

5.           Eternal: Priest forever!
