—Hebrews 7:18-24
by: Leota Stevens.
From the time of Melchizedek until the time of Christ there were many men who held the office of High Priest. These men were elevated to the position of high priest because of their lineage, not because God declared with a sworn oath that they should hold this office. As each of these gentlemen died and others succeeded them, the priesthood would change to some degree with the variation of incoming personalities. Jesus is the only High Priest marked with God’s eternal seal of approval. He remains constant and true in his role as intercessor between God and man.
