A Fresh Start
I love this time of year because there is a newness in the air.
The new year is coming and everyone starts planing a fresh start.
Would it be nice to have a fresh start in your life.
You hear people talking about the past as they saying, “Man if I could go back I would do things different.”
But we know that’s just a dream.
We can’t go back we can only move forward.
Can’t you see Adam and Eve at the start of the new year.
“Man, If I could just go back I would do things different.”
But they could either.
The reason why I love the Christmas story so much is it provides for all of us a fresh start.
To start fresh and new is to go back past your past and find where what God originally intended it to be.
To see creation as it is supposed to be you have to go back to the beginning when it was good, very good.
A new family for us to be apart of.
A new promise of hope.
To see your marriage the way it is supposed to be you have to go back to the first marriage: one man one woman for a lifetime.
A new King with a new kingdom that we are invited into.
To have the right relationship with God You have to go back to the way it was before the fall.
When you are born again in the line of Jesus the curse of death is removed and you can have an eternal life with God as it was in the beginning.
If you are hear this morning and your looking for a fresh start.
You need to understand the real story of the King of Christmas.
If you are hear this morning and your looking for a fresh start.
You need to understand the real story of the King of Christmas.
I love the story of the Maggi, the wisemen of the story of Christmas that came and honor the new King.
And although we don’t know how many Maggi came we do know that they brought 3 gifts of God, Frankincense, and Myrrh.
Most, however, don’t understand the significance these gifts really have and the story that thy tell.
And for me to help you understand we need to understand I little more about who this baby Jesus really was.
Here is what the Maggi knew about this baby born in a manger.
He is the Everlasting Prophet, the Everlasting Priest, and the Everlasting King.
Message: Defining the Passage
The Order of Melchizedek
Hebrews 6:
There are two lines of priesthoods in the Bible.
The Old Order of Aaron
The one we are most familiar with is the line of Aaron and the priesthood of the Levites.
Which is where we get the levitical law and the laws for the attornment for sin and righteousness.
Under the order of Aaron there were prophets, priests, and kings.
But these were not to hold the same office.
A priest was not the king and the King wasn’t a prophet.
Under the order of Aaron there was a continual need for sacrifices and atonement for sins because they were using the blood of bulls and goats.
The order of Aaron had to first make an atonement for their own sin before offering sacrifice for the people.
The priest were appointed until death, because they would all die and need to be replaced.
There are many today that are still trying to keep the levitical laws not understand that priesthood of Aron has past.
The New Order of Melchizedek
But there is another line of priesthood that comes before Aaron and Moses and before the Levitical law.
It is the order of Melchizedek.
To start fresh and new is to go back past your past and find where what God originally intended it to be.
To see creation as it is supposed to be you have to go back to the beginning when it was good, very good.
To see your marriage the way it is supposed to be you have to go back to the first marriage: one man one woman for a lifetime.
To have the right relationship with God You have to go back to the way it was before the fall.
When you are born again in the line of Jesus the curse of death is removed and you can have an eternal life with God as it was in the beginning.
Under the order of Melchizedek a man was prophet, priest, and king all at the same time.
