The Priestly Order of Melchizedek

Genesis 14
18 And Melchiz'edek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

Melchizdek, King of Salem, gives us a view of the world from time immemorial, from the days of Abraham, to the days of the book of Hebrews, and beyond.

Hebrews 7
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

Hebrews 7 is the explanation, to a Jewish audience, of the righteousness and Godliness and holiness and, especially, the authority of Jesus Christ. It is also a repudiation of the Hebrew law.

And so, what is the relationship of Christians, those of us sitting in the pews, to the order of Melchizedec?

Philippians 1
2 To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Phil'ipi....

Revelations 1
5 ....Jesus Christ....hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father.... Amen.

It appears that we, Christians sitting in the pews, are kings, saints and priests. Priests? Of the order of Melchizedec?

The subject of Melchizdek, King of Salem, is definitely worth on-going consideration...
