Jesus Christ as the Unchangeable High Priest

Greetings this morning in the Saving name of Jesus Christ. He's still saving souls. Amen changing lives. Glory be to his name. It's hard to know what to do this morning, you know. Almost feel like setting aside Hebrews and talking about something else here but we'll trust the Lord that this is what we're to do and Use some of that faith and Spiritual energy if I can say it that way that God is working in our hearts to open up the Word of God to us.

Yet again here this morning on our final day of Bible school here together. It's been a real joy to be here and to teach you and to be with you and learn with you. What God has in this? Wonderful, but powerful book the book of Hebrews so open once again here today.

We'll start in chapter 7. Which is a fairly long chapter. We will not look at necessarily every verse that we will look at the flow of the verses and read the verses here. This is the chapter I alluded to yesterday when we read those two verses in chapter 6 that talked about thou art a priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Referring to Jesus's new role as our high priest and so now basically the majority of this chapter is trying to give you an understanding and a picture of what that priesthood is and who Melchizedek is and more importantly who Jesus is and how he fits into that order of priesthood of Melchizedek.

So let's begin here by reading the first four verses together. For this Melchizedek king of Salem priest of the Most High God who met Abraham Returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all first being by interpretation king of righteousness and after that also king of Salem, which is King of peace without father without mother without descent having neither beginning of days nor end of life.

But made like unto the Son of God abideth a priest. Continually now consider how great this man was. Unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. So Abraham If you remember the story we won't take the time to turn there.

After his nephew Lot was captured by these kings and stolen away He gathered an army of about 300 men or so. Went after them and won a great victory and on his way back from this victory He was met by this mysterious man who seems to just walk out of the pages of the Bible Into the Bible without beginning without end without mother without father who is this person.

And then all of a sudden a very strange thing happens. He brings forth bread and wine and starts blessing Abraham and You know, of course we have communion today. We remember Christ Jesus through the bread and the wine and we look back when we do that to what Jesus did 2 ,000 years ago could it be Melchizedek was looking ahead thousands of years to what Jesus would do?

I don't know. I can't explain everything about Melchizedek. He is a Somewhat mysterious figure there isn't any other reference to him in the historical books of the Old Testament to tell us who he was.

What he came for and all these things. There's only other one reference to him in the Bible until you get into the New Testament. That's in the book of Psalms I think it's psalm 110. We might read that verse later in chapter 110.

Maybe verse 4 or 5. I can't remember. I think I have a note of it here. We may look at it later. But the point is who is this man? What is his mystery? And What is that? Why is it so mysterious and the answer to that after all these thousands of years is now going to be revealed In the person and in the ministry of Jesus Christ, and so we'll look at that a little bit here today now.

We see after Melchizedek comes and blesses him and brings the bread and the wine and all this that Abraham Gives to him it says here a tithe or a tenth of what? Had taken place there because when he went out and captured these or defeated these armies of these Kings He took which is normal in wartime.

He took the spoils of the war. You know, he gathered together some of the things that he captured back and he did an interesting thing. He gave a tenth to this priest Melchizedek who says that he is a priest of the Most High God and we need to understand what the tithe really means.

The tithe Indicates ownership when you give a tenth of something to someone what you are saying is really you own everything. But I will tie the tenth it's a humbling of ourselves to say You own everything.

It's all yours. Anyway, I'm just a steward. But I'll give you a tenth and so as you see what's happening here between Abraham and Melchizedek. He's recognizing you are a servant of the Most High God and God Owns everything the God that you serve is the God that I serve and he owns everything and so in giving that tithe.

It was a recognition both of Abraham's relationship to God, but also his understanding of who this man Melchizedek is in his ministry and so. What does this say to you and I? Today it says the one Whom you serve has the right of ownership.

The one whom you serve has the right of ownership and may I say Jesus Christ has bought you he has paid for you with his life his ministry and his blood and He owns you and you owe him everything. You owe him everything.

You can have. I'll tell you a secret. Young people you can have as much of Jesus Christ as you want. You can be as spiritual as you want to be but you must give him everything. Now he deserves it already.

He's paid for it already, but in this transaction just like the tide that almost has to be voluntary. You have to give everything to Christ and when you give him everything you in return. Receive many spiritual blessings and rivers of living water and all these things start to happen in your life.

You know He cannot bless you the way you need to be blessed if there's any area of your life. That you keep what you're saying is I want to own this. I want to control this. I don't really want to give it to you now in your mind.

You'd probably never talk to God that way would you but in reality of how you live isn't that how some of you have lived? Maybe some of you have had the freedom of taking that area of your life and exposing it and giving it to God this week.

Maybe last night right and What a release there is because in giving him everything you get much more than everything back in return. It's a strange economy this kingdom living isn't it? It doesn't work the way the world works, but I'm so glad it doesn't but my challenge to you Is you can be just as spiritual as you want to be but you must give him everything.

You must give him everything. Well as we look at this here we also see that one of the Wonderful themes of the book of Hebrews is that Jesus is better. He is better. We learned than the prophets. He is better than the angels.

He is better than Moses. He provides a better rest than Joshua in the last several chapters. We've seen he has a better priesthood. But now this brings a question to our minds this brings a question to our minds.

Melchizedek and the Superiority of Christ's Priesthood

How can Jesus be a priest if he is from the lineage of Judah? Because according to the Old Testament to be a priest you had to be from the line of what? Levi and in particular the sons of Aaron. So, how does this work out?

Well? We see here That as we under begin to understand the ministry of Melchizedek, we're going to make the connection here with Jesus Christ. Let's read a few other verses. Verse 5 and verily they that are of the sons of Levi who received the office of priesthood.

Have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law that is of their brethren. Though they came out of the loins of Abraham. Now we see there also that part of the job or part of the ministry of the priest is to receive tithes.

Yet they yet though they came out of Abraham. That's going to be important. In a minute. One other thing I do want to say about Melchizedek here and this analogy with Christ is it says here in the end of verse 3 but made like unto the Son of God abideth a priest Continually now we know that Jesus is now a priest Continually and what does that mean that means there is no end right?

He's going to continue as your priest and my priest, you know. Sometimes in our circles we ask each other the question and I think it's a good question. How much time did you spend with the Lord today?

And what do I mean when I say that I mean Did you have your devotions, you know, how much time did you spend with the Lord and amen? We should have our devotions and we need that special time with the Lord.

But I have learned and I have discovered In my experience with Jesus Christ, who is my priest continually? That I'm not limited to my devotions to spending time with the Lord. He is with me continually he doesn't matter whether I'm in my car or I'm at work or I'm at church or Wherever I am in an airplane.

He abideth with me Continually and his work is not limited to me or what I am doing I am never separated from his resources from his wisdom from his peace and from his Goodness, and this is what the ministry of Melchizedek is trying to say to you and I he abideth with us continually.

All right. Now Abraham here as the Patriarch of the Jewish faith and the word patriarch by the way means first father. He is the first father. We see the first father of the faith actually Humbling himself with Melchizedek because there's a biblical principle here that the lesser is always blessed by the greater.

And he receives this blessing. Let's read on down here verse 6. But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises see who blessed Who Melchizedek is blessing Abraham and the greater?

Blesses the lesser and without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. And so here's Abraham the most revered man in the Jewish faith the first father the father of faith and the Bible is saying that this Melchizedek this priest of the Most High God is better or greater than Abraham and You know when you're looking in the Old Testament reading the stories You don't really get a sense of that but then as you look into the New Testament with New Testament eyes and see what God was doing and what he was laying out there you begin to see who this Melchizedek is and why he's so important and The point of that is this Did you follow the flow the Levitical priesthood came from the loins or the lineage of Abraham?

Okay, and there's there was nothing Necessarily wrong with the Levitical priesthood. Except it was only meant to be temporary. It wasn't the better priesthood. There was already a priesthood established By God that was already better and then it would later be then fulfilled in the person and the lineage of Christ.

Because Christ they've repeated this phrase several times is not a priest after the order of the Levitical priesthood. He's a priest after the order of who? Melchizedek and so the importance of this is to see that even though the Levitical priesthood had a function and it had a purpose.

It was always intended to be temporary. It was never meant to be the complete Fulfillment of what God had to say in dealing with man. And it's very important that we see this and this is going to come out again a little bit here.

All right. Let's read a few more verses. Verse 8 and here men that die receive tithes, but there he receiveth them of Whom it is written. Excuse me of whom it is witnessed that he liveth and as I may say, so Levi also also who received the tithes paid tithes in Abraham for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him you see what's happening there.

There it's Paul is being very May I say somewhat Methodical or logical he's laying this thing out so that we don't get confused about the priesthood and the ministry of Jesus Christ just one little note here.

On verse 8 it says. But here men that die receive tithes, but there he receiveth them of Whom it is witnessed that he liveth. This is a wonderful thing to see here. That as we make the application of Jesus Christ, but he receiveth them Jesus Christ.

Receiveth sinful men doesn't he Jesus Christ? Receives us he receives us through the ministry of Melchizedek through taking us before the Most High God. He receives us and some of you know what that feels like last night.

You were received of Jesus Christ, weren't you and you were made acceptable before God himself in heaven because of the ministry of Jesus Christ and the work that he did in your heart and your faith in him.

Jesus Christ Received you and if you're like me You don't feel worthy. You know, you're not worthy. You know, there's nothing you can do but you have to throw yourself on the mercy of God and believe that Jesus has received you.

The Inadequacy of the Levitical Law and the Better Hope

Let's keep going here verse 11 if therefore Perfection now watch this were by the Levitical priesthood for under it the people received the law. What further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek and not be called after the order of?

Aaron now he's phrasing this in the form of a question. Do you follow that? But what's he really saying? He says if therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood. What he's saying is the Levitical priesthood was not perfection.

It wasn't God's final word to man and therefore another priesthood did have to arise but instead of after the order of Aaron it has to be after the order of Melchizedek. So this Levitical priesthood is incomplete.

It never gave full Communion full redemption with God. It never achieved. It never brought a person to full acceptance with God it actually never achieved. What it was supposed to do it was always incomplete.

There had to be millions of lambs have their throat cut and the blood of Millions of them had to run in the Kidron Valley and still if Jesus hadn't come they would still be cutting the throats of lambs.

Because it's never enough. When is enough enough? It's not enough because it wasn't ever meant to be perfection and the word perfection here means Completed it didn't satisfy. I think brother Emanuel read that verse last night in Isaiah when Jesus's blood ran.

He said I'm Satisfied and the word satisfied there doesn't mean he was happy. It meant the completion of the Transaction and the debt is fully paid when you satisfy a loan. That means you pay it off and it is no more and that's what is happening here.

Perfection means that when Christ came his blood brought perfection meaning Satisfaction it's taken care of. No more the blood of bulls and goats and rams and so the Levitical priesthood was merely a shadow and a type.

It was merely a shadow and a type and we're going to see more and more of that as We go through this a little bit more here. Let me read a few more verses here, maybe that'll help get us where we need to be.

Verse 12 for the priesthood being changed. There is made of necessity now watch this a change also of the law. Okay. Now if you're a Jew, that's a shocking verse. There's going to be a few others that are very shocking.

But even as Christians we need to understand what the New Testament is saying about the Old Testament. We need to listen carefully. There is made of necessity a change. Also of the law for he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah and Judah is the what the kingly line, right? It's the lion. It's the tribe of David of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. You know, no man of Judah has ever been a priest until Jesus Christ.

And it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of Melchizedek. There ariseth another priest who is made not after the law of a carnal government, but after the power of an endless life. Isn't that wonderful for he testified thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

That's about the third or fourth time. That same verse has been repeated. Don't get tired of God repeating things. Now there's a reason because you need to get it. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before.

Going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. We're going to talk about that in a minute for the law made nothing perfect shocking verse to a Jew. But the bringing in of a better hope did by the witch we draw nigh unto God.

Wonderful verses but verses we need to look at here. So as we look at this we begin to see that the Levitical priesthood Had no moral or Spiritual qualifications to attain to or to pass to become a priest.

What was the qualification to be a Levitical priest? You had to be from the tribe of Levi and we know there were many Things there that didn't work out the sons of Aaron himself were disciplined weren't they?

What about the sons of Eli bringing women and doing immoral acts in the very temple of God? And That's because their entrance into the priesthood Was by birth by a physical birth. Whereas Jesus Christ came from a different order His qualification is given here.

What is the requirement for the Melchizedek priesthood? It says here for There for he testified thou art a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek for there is very barely a disannoying of the commandment.

Going before the weakness and unprofitableness thereof for the law made nothing perfect. But the bringing in of a better hope did by the witch we draw nigh unto God and in as much I'm Sorry back up to 16 who is made there.

That's the verse I'm looking for who is made made what made a priest not after the law of a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life, so the qualification for Jesus Christ That proved he was after the order of Melchizedek was what the power of an endless life.

He didn't just inherit it because his daddy was from the lineage of Aaron you understand that He inherited from the power of an endless life. He is eternal and did you notice earlier when we read in this chapter that says Melchizedek without father without mother without descent.

Like unto the Son of God and so one of the qualifications for Jesus Christ is the power of an endless life. And isn't that the kind of priest you want? Don't you want a priest that has the power of an endless life?

Oh the struggle the the groanings of man since the dawn of the ages is what to do with death. What's going to happen to me when I die? Is there an afterlife every religion asked that question? It's not a Christian question.

Every religion tries to deal with this thing is what? Happens to man after he dies and The requirement for our priest to be a priest Jesus and he qualifies is the power of an endless life. I remember When I was 14 years old in school I liked to read and I liked to read a lot of things about history and I particularly liked Biographies and I remember going to that section of the library one day the librarian was there and she was talking to me and they had all the Biographies like put in one big rack here and she looked at him and she looked at me, you know.

She said I like biographies true. Too because they're true, but she said the problem with them that I have is all true stories end in death. You know and I wasn't born again I didn't know anything about God and I thought about that and I went home that night and I was tossing and turning.

You know, it's such a simple thought but I'd never thought that before all true stories end in death. And it wasn't till 15 years later when I was 29. I was born again. I realized she didn't know what she's talking about.

Because the truest story ever told is Jesus Christ and he is the power of an endless life. Amen. That's the truest story ever told is the story of Jesus Christ. He is the way the truth and the Life, but not just life.

It's an endless life. You know, it's a wonderful thing that we're Christians down here, but you know, your life here is just a vapor. You know, that's what the Bible says. You know just a vapor. But eternity is so big I can't describe it, but it's actually one of the Qualifications for this kind of priest and so Jesus has not only met it.

He now then gives it to you and I as well. Amen. Endless life these other priests they died. Now it says here that in verses 18 and 19. Did you catch this? There's a disannulling of the commandment going before that means The way to God before the commandments here.

There is a disannulled. You know, what's a disannull mean something? It's like taking a big rubber stamp and going boom void and Just pitching it. It's gone. It's effect to annul. Something is to make it no longer in effect.

To annul something means to make it not in effect anymore the power of it is literally taken away. For the weakness and a profitableness thereof for the law made nothing perfect. My what a statement for the Bible to make for the law made nothing perfect.

But the bringing in of a better hope and that better hope is who Jesus Christ. By the which we draw nigh unto God see the problem with the old covenant. Was that man could never draw nigh unto God? He could never go into the Holy of Holies.

He could never be in the presence of God. There was this Veil in there and only the high priest could go and all of these things were just shadows and types. And that's why when Jesus was on the cross One of many many things that happened that day was the veil was ramped and torn asunder and The way was opened through the blood of Jesus that we may what draw nigh unto him.

Isn't that wonderful? You know, it is so wonderful. It's so important. But what it's trying to say here is trying to cement in your mind in my mind is an understanding that there is a new Testament a new covenant and there is an Old Testament and in an old covenant and as we stand here on this side of the Cross we look back not in criticism, but in realization, so we don't get confused.

That is unprofitable. That is weakness. That is dis annulled and those are strong words, but that's what the Bible says, isn't it? Now I Don't know how to illustrate this and there's no perfect illustration for such an important point that you get and it is so important that You get this because many many Christians get this wrong.

There are many Christians. There are many churches there there are some very important Bible teachers that get this wrong and they Confuse the two covenants and they try to swap and trade things around and you cannot do it.

Because this one has come and that one is gone. This one is dis annulled. This one is in effect and it's so important that we understand how to use the Old Testament because it's still very very important.

In fact that New Testament even tells you what to do. It says these things were written as examples for you or examples where to use the principles were to use the stories. We're to use the life of David as it were as an object lesson.

But not to live it the way they live it and pull the things out and put the requirements in our life. Let me try to illustrate it this way if I can. Someone was teasing me yesterday. That I use my family a lot in my illustrations, is that okay if I do that.

It's the way I hits where I live, okay, it's. You know Jesus used parables of everyday things. That's my everyday life. You know, I live with my family and God teaches me so many things to my family. But let me use this illustration again between the old and the new and no illustration is perfect.

But there is a there is a bit of a doorway here I think I'm a bit of a window that if I can open it in your heart just a little bit you can see Into this thing a little bit and get a better picture. Okay now in My family I have the joy of having children from all the way from really young to really old.

Weston My oldest is 23 is in Africa Tanner age 20 pages here 19 and Janet Billy I see someone sitting here in their 20s, but I also still have some little children and You know the difference in my relationship with my 20 year old is entirely different than with my four year old.

Okay, let's just take Weston. Okay, because he's not here. I can pick on him. Okay, and When he was two or three or four He was the way I dealt with him was this I had to use external government rules and laws to frame the Boundaries and the parameters for his behavior and how he even related to me and how he related his brothers and sisters.

Because he didn't have an internal way of dealing with those things. He needed to know the stove is hot and if you touch it, it will burn you. Know you must do this. You must do that. You may not do this to your brother you may not tell a lie and if you do you're going to be punished and so when he told a lie, he got a Spanking right that was external government.

Now. Did that mean I didn't love him? No, I loved him and I Wanted him to do right so my laws and my guidelines were for his good. Right because I loved him and it was a way that he could learn to relate in the world that he lived in in the libby family to me to his brothers and sisters to people that came in our home and those things worked out and so when there was a Breaking of the law of the land of libby land.

Okay, there was a cursing there was a a punishment, but also when he Performed and he did right there was blessing, you know, I praised him. You know, sometimes there was even you know a special reward.

Maybe you know, I'd read him an extra book that day or whatever, you know. There were these things and I'm building a relationship and all this but still part of our relationship were these rules or laws.

These external things it didn't mean we didn't love each other. It didn't mean we didn't have a relationship. But you know something happened in the course of his life when he got to be about. Well, he was born again.

I think he was about 11 or 12 and then maybe two or three years later all of a sudden around 13 14 50 I can't give you another age something's switched in our relationship and I didn't ever spank him anymore.

Why? Something changed in his heart. Was he perfect? No, did he still make mistakes? Sure. But now he switched sides instead of me having to put parameters. He actually had a desire to please me so much That he looked for ways to please me.

He was not only that he was so far on my side. He is with me and Something shifted in his heart from just I love dad and if I don't do this I'll get a spank or whatever to he actually began to see things the way I see them and he understood them.

Sometimes better than me because his was desire was to look into my life and find ways That he could walk with me and you know something else happened when he was two or three. We didn't have fellowship I mean we had a great relationship.

But when he was 15 and 16 we could sit down talk about anything and we had a fellowship and we had Communion together and it was deeper and though I loved him when he was two or three. I mean now it's better.

We can talk about the things of God we can talk about life. Dreams visions just I mean it just a whole new world opened up, you know when I was before I was a Christian I had some friends that say well, yeah now that when they're little it's easy Rick, but when they're teenagers, ah You you just wait.

Oh, it's just gonna be so different. You know, they were right. It is so different, but it's so wonderful. You know, it's so wonderful. We have a New Testament relationship. So you see the illustration here something happened.

There's nothing wrong with the relationship I had with him back here in that it worked. What it was to do, but if that was L only the extent of our relationship still to this day. And by the way, that's the problem with a rebel.

You know, you ever notice a father and a son by telling you to fit in 16 if the son doesn't get over here. It's like they don't know what to do with each other anymore. It's like What happened to this system it used to work?

But what does it work anymore? And it's because We're something was supposed to change and it did but when it does change my the old Okay, it worked for a time, but it wasn't perfect. It wasn't complete.

It wasn't whole. Okay, and I got again, I know that isn't a perfect illustration but There is a new way of relating over here. That is a million times better than the rod. There's nothing wrong with the rod.

I preach it. Okay, don't misunderstand me. But this is a million times a million times better. Because now he's on my side. There's something written literally on the tables of his heart. That he is so far with me.

We're we're together there is an understanding and a joining of our hearts and our visions and our ways of seeing things and. So we see that in the Old Testament and the New Testament a little bit of this illustration Comes to place that now in the New Testament.

We have the Spirit of God residing in us. We have his laws written on the tables of our heart. We now have the power to overcome sin not because of the rod of the cursings of Deuteronomy chapter 28 the last half would come upon us but because we have such a desire to please him.

That we want to go the way he goes and we want to get there and we want to be there and we don't want to Have anything separating this fellowship, you know between us and when something does separate it.

An agony comes upon us doesn't it a travail of soul and conviction of sin and you don't need the rod then do you? You know, I mean you just want to make it clear because you want an open heaven you want that relationship restored don't you and so.

Maybe that illustration helps you just a little bit. I know it's not a perfect one there are things there that maybe don't line up, but We need to see and have a clear understanding the Old Testament.

Those commandments are dis annulled that's a strong word, but that's a Bible word and too many Bible teachers too many preachers do not understand that and because of that they make a mistake and they pull something out of here and try to plug it in and It doesn't work.

It cannot work. So we need to understand that very clearly. Well, let's go on here. We'll talk about that more a little bit later Lord willing as we get to chapter 8 here. Okay. Let's pick up in verse 20 and in as much as not maybe should stand up for a minute.

Y 'all if you were like me, I wouldn't I was up till 1230 or one. You're probably tired. We're gonna run on spiritual energy here, amen. Why don't you why don't we do this? I'm gonna read 21. I mean 20 21 and 22.

I'm reading the King James Version. I hope that's what you have. And if you do you read with me beginning in verse 20 and in as much as not without an oath. He was made priest for those priests were made without an oath.

But this with an oath by him that said unto him the Lord Swear and will not repent thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better Testament. Amen, sit down.

Now all I want to say about this is This word surety here some of these things are A bit repetitive and yet again God is trying to teach you something about this. But it says by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better Testament.

Okay, and surety Is something you need to understand just a little bit to get maybe to open again a window to understanding God is using words here. So that we can understand the true ministry and the qualification of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament whenever you have a testament you cannot have a testament you ever hear the phrase A person's last will and testament. Okay when they die, so you cannot have a testament without death.

So first of all as we learned the other day Jesus Christ qualified to bring in the New Testament. Because somebody died he died but not only did his death bring it in when you have a testament also, you have to have a surety and a surety is the one who stands in the place of Guaranteeing that this thing will work and they'll pay the full penalty and the full value to make sure it works for example If a person In construction bids on a government job.

They for the state to complete a section of highway. And maybe the section of highway is a mile long and they put a bid in that they'll build that for the state for ten million dollars. Well, the state will not just take their bid.

They have to give them a bond of surety and the bond says that they will build that thing and that even if that company Goes bankrupt even if all their employees quit there is a bond of surety that guarantees that that contract that Testament that contract that covenant between that builder in the state will be fulfilled even if that builder dies and his whole company is gone and so he goes to a bonding company and Purchases a surety bond for ten million dollars now to pay that he'll probably have to pay a premium of maybe about three to five Percent so he may have to pay three four or five hundred thousand dollars to this surety company.
