Hebrews 4:15
Who is Melchizedek, and why does his brief encounter with Abram hold such significance? As both a priest and king, Melchizedek blesses Abram and points us to a greater truth: the coming of Jesus, our eternal High Priest. In his role, Melchizedek foreshadows Christ, who intercedes for us and offers blessings beyond measure. This story reminds us of God’s eternal plan, linking the past to the future in ways we cannot fully grasp. Hebrews 4:15 tells us that Jesus, like Melchizedek, is a priest who understands our struggles. He offers righteousness and grace to all who trust in Him. Today, take comfort in knowing you have a High Priest who knows your weaknesses and intercedes on your behalf.
