”who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec.“
Hebrews 7:16-17 KJV
This King-Priest did not arise because of a genealogical right under the law to be a priest, but by the power of an indestructible, resurrection life! For it says in the Psalms, “You are like Melchizedek, a King-Priest forever!” This new office is not based on the law of precepts constrained by the frailty of the flesh, but by the authority of an indestructible life as demonstrated in His resurrection. Thus Scripture confirms His perpetual Priesthood exactly according to the pattern of Melchizedek, the King of Peace and the King of Righteousness. That is why we, the believers, are made kings and priests to God in Christ. Amen!
