. As a forerunner, He has entered “the Presence behind the veil” (i.e., heaven) c. He has become “High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” 1) Even as God swore He would do - cf. Psa 110:4 2) God not only promised, but He swore an oath, just like He did for Abraham -- So He has kept His promise, providing us a superior High Priest! 3. Upon such an example of God’s faithfulness, we can have an assurance of our salvation as long as we continue to lay hold of the “hope” (Jesus) set before us CONCLUSION Mark A. Copeland 1. With a finely crafted argument, the author has returned his readers back to his original subject, which is Jesus as “a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”... a. Our spiritual security is first based upon the character of God... 1) Who is not unjust to forget our work and labor of love 2) Who keeps His promises b. God has promised and swore with an oath concerning the priesthood of the Messiah c. This priesthood Jesus now has in heaven, and as such is the basis of our “hope” -- For which reason we should seek to learn what we can about the priesthood of Jesus 2. Yet as wonderful is the character and promises of God, we are not to take them for granted... a. We must be careful not to become sluggish b. We must be careful to be diligent, imitating the faith and patience of those like Abraham who obtained God’s promise for them -- Together with God’s character and promises, this is “The Basis For Spiritual Security” Have you fled to Jesus for refuge? Is He your “hope”, your “anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast”? Is He your “High Priest”? If so, then let these words sink deep into your heart: “And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” (He 6:11-12) If you have not yet fled to Jesus for refuge, then please consider His tender invitation: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Mt 11:28-30) Sermons From Hebrews 50
INTRODUCTION The Greatness Of Melchizedek Hebrews 7:1-10 Mark A. Copeland 1. Thus far in our study, we have seen the writer mention Melchizedek... a. That Jesus is a priest “after the order of Melchizedek” - He 5:9-10; 6:20 b. It has only been a brief mention, for the dullness of the readers required a necessary digression - cf. He 5:11-6:20 2. But now the writer returns to his theme concerning Melchizedek, in which he... a. Establishes the greatness of Melchizedek - He 7:1-10 b. Shows the significance of Melchizedek’s priesthood - He 7:11-19 c. Thereby illustrating the greatness of Christ’s priesthood - He 7:20-28 3. Since this subject is meat compared to the milk of the Word (cf. He 5:10-12)... a. We want to approach it slowly and carefully b. Allowing ourselves to slowly “digest” what is said in this seventh chapter of Hebrews [For this reason, this lesson will limit itself to the first ten verses, in which we read of “The Greatness Of Melchizedek”. To appreciate his greatness, we must first be aware of...] I. THE HISTORY OF MELCHIZEDEK (1-3) A. THE HISTORICAL RECORD AS FOUND IN GENESIS 14... 1. We first read of “The Battle Of The Kings” - Gen 14:1-11 2. In which Lot is captured, and then rescued by Abram (Abraham) - Gen 14:12-17 3. Upon his return, Abram is met by Melchizedek - Gen 14:18 a. Who is “king of Salem” (thought to be later known as Jerusalem) b. Who is also “the priest of God Most High” 4. In this meeting, two things happen... a. Melchizedek blesses Abram (Abraham) - Gen 14:19 b. Abram pays tithes to Melchizedek - Gen 14:20b B. IN REFERRING TO MELCHIZEDEK, THE AUTHOR OF HEBREWS... 1. Summarizes the events in He 7:1-2 a. How Melchizedek met Abraham and blessed him b. How Abraham gave “a tenth part of all” (i.e., tithes) to Melchizedek 2. Explains the meaning of his name and title - He 7:2 a. The name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness” b. The title “king of Salem” means “king of peace” 3. Makes some intriguing statements about Melchizedek... a. “without father, without mother, without genealogy” b. “having neither beginning of days nor end of life” c. “made like the Son of God” d. “remains a priest continually” Sermons From Hebrews 51
