Passage: Hebrews 7:1-10 At the end of Chapter 5, the author was anxious to talk about Jesus’ connection to the high priest Melchizedek. But his train of thought has been interrupted by the immaturity of his audience. After a clear admonition in Chapter 6 to not fall away as others have done, he is back into his explanation of Jesus, a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Who is this king-priest? And how does he help build our faith in Jesus, the better priest? - What do people like Abraham, Moses and David have in common with Melchizedek? How do they connect to the life of Christ and his fulfillment of the promises of God? - How does the writer of Hebrews help us know how to interpret the OT? How does he use the OT passages about Melchizedek to give us confidence in God? - Does this passage speak to the Christian’s heart and responsibility to give to the Lord? Why? Why not?
