How did Jesus fulfil the role of high priest for eternity? Who was Melchizedek? \n \nIn this episode we focus on priesthood in the Bible and the role of Jesus as the great high priest. \nWe begin by exploring the historical context of priests and the Levitical priesthood in Judaism. Then we consider the picture of Jesus as the superior and eternal high priest in the book of Hebrews and the implications for us today.\n \nWe discuss Melchizedek – his significance in the Bible, his dual role as both king and priest, and how he foreshadows Jesus.\n \nWe finish by talking about how to balance our understanding of the familiarity and close relationship we can now have with God because of what Jesus has done, and the true reverence we should feel in his presence. \n\nTimestamps\nRooted:\nRooted is our devotional journal that helps make the Bible available to everyone, everywhere.
