Thousands of years before Jesus sat at the covenant table and broke the bread and passed the cup to His disciples, Jesus, Who is The Priest-King of Peace and Righteousness, in His ancestry line Abram, who became Abraham, sat with Melchizedek, also at the table of covenant and receives a blessing which points to a greater reality. Jesus is the blessing of the greater reality to which Melchizedek’s blessing points. Unlike Melchizedek’s righteousness, Jesus’ righteousness is based upon His perfect Sonship, obedience unto death, and everlasting life. In all these ways, He is The Priest of God Most High and The True King of Righteousness and Peace.
