The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:“ You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.This Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem and also a priest of God Most High. When Abraham was returning home after winning a great battle against the kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him.Then Abraham took a tenth of all he had captured in battle and gave it to Melchizedek. The name Melchizedek means“ king of justice,” and king of Salem means“ king of peace.”There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors— no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God.

And in another passage God said to him,“ You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

And God designated him to be a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying,“ Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said,“ Each of you drink from it,for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.Mark my words— I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting,“ These men are servants of the Most High God, and they have come to tell you how to be saved.”

I will thank the Lord because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.

Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.

“ The Lord bless you, my daughter!” Boaz exclaimed.“ You are showing even more family loyalty now than you did before, for you have not gone after a younger man, whether rich or poor.

What can we bring to the Lord? Should we bring him burnt offerings? Should we bow before God Most High with offerings of yearling calves?

For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him.So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?And if the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed to permit it.For the priest we are talking about belongs to a different tribe, whose members have never served at the altar as priests.What I mean is, our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never mentioned priests coming from that tribe.This change has been made very clear since a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has appeared.Jesus became a priest, not by meeting the physical requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed.And the psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied,“ You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”Yes, the old requirement about the priesthood was set aside because it was weak and useless.For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron’s descendants became priests without such an oath,but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him,“ The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:‘ You are a priest forever.’”Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God.

However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says,

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone— especially to those in the family of faith.

Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

he sent them this message:“ May the Lord bless you for being so loyal to your master Saul and giving him a decent burial.
