Hebrews 7:17
Hebrews 7:17 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
For it is witnessed of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 7:15-19 The Message (MSG)
But the Melchizedek story provides a perfect analogy: Jesus, a priest like Melchizedek, not by genealogical descent but by the sheer force of resurrection life—he lives!—“priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek.” The former way of doing things, a system of commandments that never worked out the way it was supposed to, was set aside; the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way—Jesus!—a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.
