“And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.”
Hebrews 7:15-16 KJV
About Christ in the order of Melchizedek, “And all this is made even clearer if there was another King-Priest raised up with the rank of Melchizedek. 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!” Of far greater significance and even more apparent is the fact that Jesus is mirrored in Melchizedek in whom the new priestly office arises. 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 Christ’s resurrection. This indestructible life comes from a united life of union with God, which is resurrection life. The priestly ministry of Jesus began after He was raised from the dead. He has life-giving power that has no beginning. Jesus’s ministry of Prophet, Priest and King flows from His unlimited life of resurrection power now given to us who believe in Him. Hallelujah!
