Hebrews 7:1-28

The better priest

Jesus, the Son of God, is our great high priest in the order of Melchizedek. This is the magnificent truth our author explains in this chapter and the “solid food” his hearers need to grow up into maturity. To drift from Jesus is to lose the only one who is able to act on our behalf before God. Sinful and mortal men cannot do, but with Jesus, Christians have a perfect high priest who lives forever and is right now interceding on our behalf in the throne room of heaven.
