Hebrews 7:15-8:6
Hebrews 7:15-8:6
"All of this becomes clearer, when someone who is like Melchizedek is
appointed to be a priest. That person wasn't appointed because of his
ancestors, but because his life can never end. The Scriptures say
about him, "You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek."
In this way a weak and useless command was put aside, because the Law
cannot make anything perfect. At the same time, we are given a much
better hope, and it can bring us close to God.
God himself made a promise when this priest was appointed. But he did
not make a promise like this when the other priests were appointed.
The promise he made is, "I, the Lord, promise that you will be a
priest forever! And I will never change my mind!"
This means that Jesus guarantees us a better agreement with God.
There have been a lot of other priests, and all of them have died.
But Jesus will never die, and so he will be a priest forever! He is
forever able to save ...
