Melchizedek Why Should I Care?
Melchizedek Why Should I Care? – The Bible lists two types of priesthoods: the Levitical Priesthood and the Melchizedek Priesthood. Jesus Christ is a member of the Melchizedek Priesthood because he was not born from the tribe of Levi but rather from Judah. Additionally, Jesus has invited us to join Him in that priesthood.
Here’s another good video about Melchizedek: Who Is Melchizedek?
“The word of God to my Lord: ‘Sit alongside me here on my throne until I make your enemies a stool for your feet.’ You were forged a strong scepter by God of Zion; now rule, though surrounded by enemies! Your people will freely join you, resplendent in holy armor on the great day of your conquest, Join you at the fresh break of day, join you with all the vigor of youth. God gave his word and he won’t take it back: you’re the permanent priest, the Melchizedek priest. The Lord stands true at your side, crushing kings in his terrible wrath, bringing judgment on the nations, handing out convictions wholesale, crushing opposition across the wide earth. The King-Maker put his King on the throne; the True King rules with head held high”! Psalms 110:1-7 The Message Bible
You Are Called To Be Priest!
“So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. You’ve had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Then you’ll grow up mature and whole in God. Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God. The Scriptures provide precedent: Look! I’m setting a stone in Zion, a cornerstone in the place of honor. Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation will never have cause to regret it. To you who trust him, he’s a Stone to be proud of, but to those who refuse to trust him, the stone the workmen threw out is now the chief foundation stone. For the untrusting it’s a stone to trip over, a boulder blocking the way. They trip and fall because they refuse to obey, just as predicted. But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted”. 1 Peter 2:1-10 The Message Bible
We Are The Bride Of Christ!
“Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners”? Song of Solomon 6:10 King James Version. Please finish reading the Song of Solomon in both the KJV and The Message Bible! This is our “calling” as Seventh-day Adventists! We are called to the Kingdom of God “for such a time as this”!
Melchizedek means “My King of Righteousness.” King of Salem means “King of Peace.” He is calling us to serve Him as priests and priestesses, with Him as our Brother and Saviour! What will your answer be?
