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!
