The Better High Priest And Priesthood
1. Heb.6:11-12 Imitate Those Who Waited For The Promises. Abraham As An
Example.
2. Heb.6:13-20 Why God’s Promises Are Immutable: The Character Of God (v.13-
15); The Oath Of God (v.16-18); The High Priest Of God (v.19-20).
3. Immutability—The Character Of God (Heb.6:13-15) Involves—His Greatness
(v.13; Gen.22:16-17; Jas.5:12; Matt.5:37); His Blessing (v.14-15)
4. Immutability—The Oath Of God He Gave (Heb.6:16-18) Involves—Confirmation
(v.16-17; Eph.1:13; 2 Cor.1:21, 5:5); Consolation (Comfort; Heb.6:18).
5. Immutability—The High Priest Of God (Heb.6:19-20) Involves—An Anchor
(v.19); Entered In (v.19)
6. A Study Of Melchizedek’s Priesthood (Heb.7:1-10).
7. Melchizedek is King (Heb.7:1). “King Of Righteousness” (v.1), King Of Salem
(v.1), Priest (v.1), He Blessed Abraham (v.1,7)(Gen.14; Luke 22:14-23)

7. Melchizedek Received A Tenth From Abram (Heb.7:2,7-10)(Gen.14).
Melchizedek Is Greater Than Abram (Heb.7:4) & Greater Than The Priesthood
(Heb.7:5)(Num.18)(2 Cor.9:6-7) Tithes (2 Cor.9:6-7 1 Cor. 16:2; Prov 3:9;1 CHR.29:1-14
8. Melchizedek Is Unique (Heb.7:3)—His Lack Of Priestly Genealogy (v.3), His
Eternality (v.3)(Ps.110:4). He Is “…Made Like The Son Of God…” (v.3). Like=a copy,
a resemblance; Context Is King!
9. Point: Melchizedek’s Priesthood Is Better Than And Superior To The Levitical
Priesthood. Since Jesus Came In The Order Of Melchizedek, Jesus Is A Better High
Priest And Priesthood.
