Who is Melchizedek
Who is Melchizedek and what is his significance? The writer to the Hebrews describes Melchizedek as a righteous ruler, a king of peace, and a high priest. This Old Testament figure pointed forward to the one in whom these offices would find their perfect fulfilment—namely, Jesus. As King and Priest forever, Jesus subdues our rebellious hearts and guards us for all eternity. We can have full confidence that Jesus rules sovereignly over every situation in our lives and that He will sustain us through all circumstances.
