Who Are We As Christians? Part 7

Our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 6:

Hebrews Chapter 7:

11. "If therefore perfection (everything was complete)were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"

12. "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law."

13. "For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth (belong) to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar."

14. "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."

15. "And it is far more evident: for that after the similitude (likeness) of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"

16. "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment (legal requirement), but after the power of an endless life."

17. "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (Psalm 110:4)

18. "For there is verily a disannuling (setting aside) of the commandment going before the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."

19. "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh (near) unto God."

20. "And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:"

21. "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent [change his mind], Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)" (Psalm 110:4)

22. "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."

23. "And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered (allowed) to continue by reason of death:"

24. "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood."

25. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

26. "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"

27. "Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did (has done) once (once for all), when he offered up himself."

28. "For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity (are weak); but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh (appoints) the Son, who is consecrated (perfect) for evermore."

Hebrews Chapter 8:

1. "NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"

2. "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

3. "For every high priest is ordained (appointed) to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer."

6. "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."

7. "For if that first covenant (agreement) had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second."
