CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Hebrews 7

Hebrews develops Melchisedec’s significance and argues that Jesus belongs to a better priesthood than the Levitical order. A change of priesthood implies a change of law, and Christ’s priesthood rests on an endless life and divine oath. Unlike mortal priests, Jesus continues forever and is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him because He ever lives to make intercession.
