Hebrews 7:1-10

In Hebrews 7:1-10 the author returns to the subject begun in 5:1-10 comparing Christ’s priesthood to that of the Levites. Here the author shows that Melchizedek himself was far greater than Levi, which means that the priest after the order of Melchizedek, of which Melchizedek was merely a type, must be far greater than any Levitical priest. This greater priest is Christ, a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
