Hebrews: The Greatness of Christ
Who is This King of Righteousness?
- Melchizadek the Enigma
- Melchizedek's Superiority of Levi
- It's All About Jesus
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Hebrews 7:1-10. Also read Genesis 14 for the historical background. Who is Melchizedek? What do we know about him?
- Why does the writer of Hebrews state that Melchizedek resembles the Son of God in verse 3? What are the similarities?
- In what ways is Melchizedek superior to Levi? Why is this important?
- Kid's Catechism question 74 asks, "Why do you need Christ as your priest.?" Answer: "Because I am guilty of breaking God's law." How does linking Christ's priesthood to Melchizedek bolster our confidence and joy in Christ as our priest?
