Thank you for your in-depth articles that truly broaden my understanding. I was always of the understanding that Jesus (as the High Priest in perpetuity) likely was Melchizedek. I found the most fascinating part of this post was that like God hardening Pharaoh’s heart, Jesus actually provoked the Pharisees by his teachings that has the same effect. That was new to me, but there’s so much about His Word that is above my comprehension.
The author of Hebrews gets oh so close to declaring that Jesus is Melchizedek. I, like you, believe that He is - that there can't be two eternal priests of that order.
I was blessed to have a Dean who was willing to tackle the Bible from a living perspective - meaning that it was not just some dry document but His living Word. He exemplified the idea of approaching every passage as if it were the first time, while still be disciplined enough to stay true to principles of studying!
