Hebrews 7
1. Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek;
11. and so far more excellent than the priests of Aaron's order.














(25) Wherefore.--Since His priesthood is inviolable, His power of saving is complete. The association of the thought of "salvation" with the priesthood recalls Hebrews 5:9-10; as indeed several points in the later verses of this chapter show that the writer's thought is resting on the first section of Hebrews 5. In His supplication unto God, "who was able to save Him out of death," He was heard; this was the type--and more than the type (see the Note on Hebrews 5:7)--of the eternal salvation of which He, when made perfect, becomes the Author. The connecting link between the priestly office and "salvation" appears, therefore, to be the prevalent intercession of which this verse speaks--an intercession which implies all that has preceded in His priestly ministration. (See Hebrews 9:12; Hebrews 9:24.)

That come unto God by him.--Better, that approach through Him to God. See Hebrews 10:19-22, where full expression is given to the thought here briefly indicated. He leads and represents His people, and is the medium of their approach to God. . . .

Verse 25. - Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. We again observe how, at the end of successive stages of the argument, thoughts to be enlarged on afterwards are brought in. Here it is the perpetual intercession of Christ before the heavenly mercy-seat. In the view of his office thus arrived at there is, in fact, a transition to the main subject set forth in the three chapters that follow; viz. the fulfillment in Christ of the ceremonial of the Law, and especially of the high priest's intercession on the Day of Atonement. And thus from Melchizedek the train of thought passes to the high priest. The type of the former has been sufficiently shown to be fulfilled in the higher order of Christ's priesthood; it is now to be shown how, being of such higher order, it is the antitype of the Aaronic priesthood too, accomplishing what it signified. Hence in ver. 26 the word "high priest" (ἀρχιερεὺς) is for the first time introduced, as the key-note of what is coming. Summary of the foregoing argument.

I. (Hebrews 5:1-11.) What does the Melchizedek priesthood of Psalm 110. signify?

1. (vers. 1 - 4.) One not depending on human ancestry, and one forever abiding.

2. (vers. 4 -11.) One of a higher order than that of Aaron; for: . . .
