Hebrews 7:11-2
Jesus - Greater Than - Melchizedek Who
Rev’d Lynda Johnso
The main task of a preacher is to bring God’s Story and our story, the human story, together.
And
to do that in such a way that God’s story is personalised, and brings change to our lives
Now no Bible passage is easy to bring together into a sermon, but there are some passages which
do seem a little more obscure than others
Hebrews 7 is a bit like that
In fact there’s a commentary on Hebrews, that I’ve seen, I don’t own it, but I’ve seen it, and the
title is, “I wish someone would explain Hebrews to me.
My hope today is that you will go away knowing a little more about Melchizedek, but more than
that, you will have a greater and more robust view of who Jesus is, and why we honour him, love
him, serve him and bow down to him, why we claim to be called by his name, as Christian
Revisit the outline of this series …
Jesus, greater than.
Basically the whole reason the writer to the Hebrews wrote it.
Bringing about an explanation of why Jesus is the ultimate.
Why Jesus is better.
Why Jesus is greater than all else, and why he is our Lord
In our rst week we looked at Jesus’ superiority to the rest of creation, even the angels, that he is
the radiance of God’s glory, and he sustains everything by his powerful word.
And he now is
seated at God’s right hand in heaven
Because of all these things, the writer goes on to say, that we must pay careful attention to what
we’ve heard, because if we ignore this great salvation offered to us, how shall we escape
What an opening!
And the rest of the letter is explaining this incredible superiority of Jesus.
He is greater than
everything and anything else
He is greater than anything the Jews have been relying on since their nation was called by God
We also need to remember that the book of Hebrews was written to Christians from that Jewish
background.
And it was written to them because they didn’t seem to be growing spiritually.
And this is a warning against going back to a legalistic Judaism, which would actually take them
away from Christ
So this letter shows all that Jesus has done for us.
It shows that he was both God and perfect human.
It identi es him as being the perfect high priest, greater than, better than all the great high priests
of the Old Testament, and that he has a better ministry
