Melchizedek is mentioned in the old Testament and the new Testament. He is a high priest and he has no genealogy. However, Jesus was not Melchizedek. Rather, Jesus, when He came to earth had a genealogy that could be traced back all the way to the beginning of time on earth and to King David.
Jesus came to earth as a man and not as a high priest. But Jesus is of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of the Levites, who trace their ancestry to Aaron.
Why is this so important?
It is important because Jesus came to bring us a new way to get to GOD. Not through sacrifices and atonements, but through grace.
Therefore by accepting Jesus as the Son of GOD, and believing that He lived on earth as a man, that He died on the cross and the He conquered death on the third day, we are saved. All we need to do is to say, "I believe that Jesus is my Saviour" and we are saved.
Obviously when we accept this truth, the Holy Spirit will be poured out on us and we will be convicted to be followers of Jesus. Through this conviction, we are called on to beg GOD to forgive our sins and to forgive others who have sinned against us.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. Forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me. I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
