    The document discusses Jesus' priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek. It notes that Melchizedek's priesthood gives blessings to man, as seen when he blessed Abraham, whereas the Aaronic priesthood takes from man. As Jesus' priesthood is like Melchizedek's, we can come before Him boldly to receive blessings. Unlike creation, which can bring both blessings and curses, the blessings of redemption through Jesus are certain and never curses.

    And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all

    who obey Him, called by God as High Priest “according to the order of
    Melchizedek,”
    Hebrews 5:9–10

    - AUGUST 28 -

    JESUS’ PRIESTHOOD NEVER

    CURSES

    When Jesus died and rose again, He became our High Priest. But notice that Jesus’
    priesthood is “according to the order of Melchizedek.” Why the Melchizedek priesthood?

    The Melchizedek priesthood gives to man (whereas the Aaronic priesthood takes from


    man). We see this when Melchizedek gave bread and wine to refresh a tired Abraham after
    his battle with the enemy kings (see Genesis 14:14–20). So if Jesus’ priesthood is
    according to the Melchizedek order, then it is one in which we can come boldly into His
    presence to receive from Him (see Hebrews 4:16).

    Moreover, the first word from Melchizedek’s mouth was “Blessed”—“Blessed be Abram…”
    (Genesis 14:19). The Melchizedek order is just that—blessings. In other words, Jesus’
    priesthood is one which blesses and never curses us!

    So are we conscious of Jesus our High Priest giving to us every day? Are we alert to all His
    blessings coming from heaven toward us on earth?

    Now, it is easy for us to believe God for His blessings in creation. For example, we have no
    difficulty believing that the sun will rise every morning. But while we have no problems
    believing the work of creation, we have problems believing the work of redemption. We
    sometimes find it hard to believe God for healing, provision, favor, protection or restoration
    —blessings that Jesus died to give us. We don’t really believe that every day, the Lord will
    take care of us, keep our bodies healthy and provide for all our needs.

    Yet, creation is fallen. It can be a blessing as well as a curse. Sometimes, a storm arises,
    and powerful winds and rains destroy thousands of homes and lives. Sometimes, dark
    clouds hide the sun and make the whole day gloomy.

    My friend, we can’t put our trust in creation, but we can certainly put our trust in redemption.
    And unlike creation, the blessings of redemption are all good! The work of Jesus is not
    subject to the weather or anything else. The work of redemption is as sure as Jesus
    Himself. He died and rose again to be our High Priest who daily showers us with blessings!
