Hebrews 7
HebrewsSteve Gregg
In this teaching, Steve Gregg delves into Hebrews 7, where the author argues that the priesthood of Melchizedek differs from the Aaronic priesthood. Melchizedek's priesthood is based on eternal life and not hereditary succession. While commentators have differing views on who Melchizedek was, the author of Hebrews points to him as a type of Christ, with an unchangeable and non-transferable priesthood. The author's main goal is to sanctify believers and grow them in Christ's image.
