Scripture Union Daily Guide 9 October 2025 Outline
Abraham was a great man because he was the father of all Israel, but Melchizedek was greater. In what ways (Hebrews 7:4-10)? The priesthood of Melchizedek foreshadowed that of Christ. His priesthood existed before and is far higher than that of Aaron (see Genesis 14:17-24 and Psalms 110:4). He was both a priest and a king, a combination that was not allowed in the Aaronic priesthood. In the Levitical order, strict records of ancestry were kept to confirm a person’s right to be a priest (cf. Ezra 2:61-62; Nehemiah 7:63-65).
However, no such records exist for Melchizedek. They are not necessary, because his priesthood, like that of Christ, is not limited by time or Levitical laws (Hebrews 7:1-3).
Why was there a need for a new priesthood in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:11-12)? The Aaronic and Levitical priesthoods were imperfect but that of Melchizedek was perfect. All New Testament believers, just like Christ, now have a priest-king status that enables us to function as His royal representatives on earth (see 1 Peter 2:9).
What Next?
Think of some specific ways you can use your privileges and position as Christ’s royal ambassador to bring positive change to your community.
