Jesus, Our High Priest: The Profound Connection Between Christ and Melchizedek

Summary:
Jesus is our great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Did you ever wonder why His priesthood order is named after someone other than Himself? The types and connections between Christ and Melchizedek are profound: They are both priests, they are both eternal, and they both brought forth bread and wine. One appeared after the slaughter of the kings who destroyed giants, and the other returned to strike through kings on the day of his wrath. Let’s examine the priesthood of Jesus Christ.

Notes:
Melchizedek: מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק - From meleḵ, meaning King and ṣeḏeq, meaning righteousness, justice

Hebrew letters of the name: Mem = water, Lamed = staff, Kaf = open hand, Yud = hand of God, Tsadi = need, Dalet = door, Kuf = sun on the horizon

Scriptures:
All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible

Genesis 14:18-20, Psalm 100:1-11, Hebrews 5:1-11, Hebrews 6:19-20, Hebrews 7:1-4, Hebrews 7:6-8, Hebrews 7:14-17, Hebrews 7:20-22, Hebrews 8:1-2, Hebrews 9:11-12, Matthew 26:26-28, Hebrews 12:22-24, Ephesians 4:8-10, Revelation 5:1-3, Revelation 5:4-5, Revelation 5:6-12

Takeaway:
What a glorious truth that the blood of Christ pays for our sins! He is our High Priest who entered the holy place with His own blood. Though Jesus said, "It is finished," when He gave up the ghost, there were still things to accomplish. Christ's ministry to Israel was finished, and His dying for sins was finished, but he spent three days in the heart of the earth, burned as a sacrificial Lamb of God, then ascended to the Father to sprinkle His blood on the mercy seat, completing the work of the High Priest. His priesthood abides forever, and He accomplished eternal redemption for us!
