In the Book of Hebrews, chapter 7, the author describes the order of Melchizedek, establishing Jesus Christ forever as its High Priest.
Questions for Review
- Melchizedek means “righteousness and peace” in Hebrew. What is your understanding of this in the context of the Kingdom of God?
- After you read the types and shadows of the Order of Melchizedek, read 2 Corinthians 3. How would you compare the ministry under the Law with that of the Spirit?
Questions for Meditation and Application
- Read Hebrews 7 and 8. In these passages, where do you think Jesus Christ is acting as the High Priest? Explain.
- When you are newly born again, do you think you are immediately qualified to be minister of the New Covenant? If not, why?
- Has God put the people before Christ in a disadvantaged place compared to us who have Jesus Christ? Is this His intention?
- Do you think there is a difference between the life of the Spirit and ministry of the Spirit? Explain.
