Characters: God, Christ, Melchisedec, Abraham, Levi, Aaron, Moses.

Conclusion: Jesus Christ, the true King-Priest, the anti-type of Melchisedec is greater than all the priests of the order of Aaron, and is the mediator of all blessings to the children of men. Whereas the Levitical priesthood could bring nothing to perfection, nor justify men from guilt, Christ's priesthood brings with it a better hope a foundation of salvation and perfect security in Him as Intercessor in heaven.

Key Word: Better priesthood, Hebrews 7:17; Hebrews 7:22.

Strong Verses: Hebrews 7:19; Hebrews 7:24; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 7:26; Hebrews 7:27.

Striking Facts: Hebrews 7:26. No priest could be suitable or sufficient for our reconciliation to God, but One who could meet the conditions here laid down, and our Lord Jesus alone could meet them. He was free from all habits or principles of sin, never did the least wrong to God or man, was absolutely undefiled in His own life, and was never accessory to other man's sins. Those who come to God by Him are saved, not only FROM the uttermost, but TO the uttermost. (Hebrews 7:25).
