Here we go with Q1 - What is the ministry of a Jewish priest? #HealthyFaithChat

Based on the fact that Jesus is a priest forever, therefore He brings 'a better hope' and is the guarantor of a better covenant.' Please explain how. #HealthyFaithChat

Q3: looking at Heb 7:11,12,18,19 -- why did the law need to be changed? #HealthyFaithChat

Q4: now look at Heb 7:15-17, 20,21 -- since Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi, how was He made a priest? #HealthyFaithChat

#HealthyFaithChat The Law was not perfect- it could save no one.

A3. The Law was limited in what it could do, which was just to expose sin. It was powerless to save. For us to be saved, the old Law had to be satisfied and a new Law provided for us.

Here's Q1

#HealthyFaithChat

A2 This shows that Abraham recognized Melchizedek as a priest, giving him a tithe. Melchizedek giving a blessing to Abraham, shows he is greater than Abraham. “the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed” V.7 #HealthyFaithChat

Final question; Q7: as our high priest, what kind of sacrifice did Jesus offer to God? And how was His sacrifice significant? #HealthyFaithChat

A2 To offer sacrifices for sin - his own and the people’s. This was to purify them in order to be close to a holy God. #HealthyFaithChat

#HealthyFaithChat To make sacrifices for the people and themselves, to cover sins

#HealthyFaithChat To show that the later Levitic priesthood bows to the one of Melchizedek.

#HealthyFaithChat That we will always have an advocate working in our defense

A2 #HealthyFaithChat
As our prototype in faith, Abraham modeled behaviors for us. 'Without [known] [begotten, not made?] genealogy, Melchizedek is a prototype of Jesus Christ. Their interactions point forward to a finished transaction in Jesus Christ.

Q6: Jesus has an indestructible life and He is a priest forever -- what assurance does this give to every believer (v25). #HealthyFaithChat

A3 The law was incapable of completely restoring us from sin. It acted as a temporary covering. One that must continually be done. #HealthyFaithChat

Raymant Glinski Jr A4: To think that our salvation depends on our own faithfulness to the Law, we deny that Christ’s priesthood is superior to the priesthood of Levi. Remember that your salvation is based not in you, but in the person and work of Christ.
