In Hebrews 7, we discover the significance of Melchizedek, the priest and king who met Abraham after his victory over the kings. His priesthood points us to something far greater than the Levitical priesthood: the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ.

Through this passage, we'll see why Jesus is our perfect High Priest, why His priesthood is superior, and how His finished sacrifice establishes a better covenant and a better hope.

Unlike earthly priests who were limited by death and human weakness, Jesus lives forever and continually intercedes for those who come to God through Him. Because of Him, we have the assurance of salvation and the privilege of drawing near to God.
