Untitled Sermon (2)
Wednesday\
First, we noted that Melchizedek was both king and priest
Second, in Melchizedek’s going out to bless Abraham in the presence of the Canaanites, we see a wonderful type of Christ’s ministry to us. When our battle is over, the risen Jesus Christ will bless us before the eyes of this world
Third, we saw the meaning of Melchizedek’s name and titles, “king of righteousness” and “king of peace.
Finally, Melchizedek shows us that when Christ was raised from the dead and ascended on high, he took up an eternal priesthood, becoming a priest for our salvation forever
110 A PSALM OF DAVID.
1 The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The LORD sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power,
in holy garments;
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
4 The LORD has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
