Melchizedek — The Eternal Priesthood

Appearing suddenly in Genesis 14, Melchizedek — “King of Righteousness,” “King of Peace” — blesses Abraham with bread and wine.
He has no genealogy, no beginning, no end (Hebrews 7:3). His presence bridges the Old Covenant and foreshadows the eternal priesthood of Christ.
Melchizedek’s name and offering point beyond himself — to the One who would establish everlasting righteousness and mediate between God and man.
As Melchizedek blessed Abraham, Christ blesses His Church — the children of faith — with His body and blood, the covenant meal of eternal peace.
