Most of us don't know anyone named Melchizedek, or much about the one found in Genesis 14:18-20. But that doesn't mean we can't understand his significance as the type of priesthood predestined for Jesus. Melchizedek appeared as the king of peace to whom Abraham paid a tithe in Genesis 14:18-20. After that brief mention he doesn't resurface until the Messianic Psalm 110 reveals the Messiah will have an eternal priesthood like Melchizedek. Then he disappears until the writer of the letter to the Hebrews refers to him in a lengthy argument for the superior priesthood of Jesus.
Still scratching your head over Melchizedek? Well let that go and wrestle with the bigger question. Do you know Jesus?
