Basic Gospel is a media ministry dedicated to helping people hear, believe, and live the good news of Jesus Christ.
Tune in daily to Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, and Richard Peifer.
Who was Melchizedek and why is Jesus compared to him in Hebrews? Melchizedek was from the tribe of Levi and was designated to receive a tenth from all of Israel. He collected a tenth from Abraham and then blessed him. Jesus is from the tribe of Judah. The change of priesthood requires a change of the law. Jesus is this new priest and brings a better hope. Jesus is permanent high priest because he lives forever. This is good news!
