Summary of Hebrews Chap 7
* The Law had a Flaw!
* Law wasn’t bad, but it was useless because all it can do is point out
sin. The Law cannot fix people.
* Law used priests, that were flawed, to make sacrifices that,
ultimately, couldn’t save.
* Law did not allow for any priest that was NOT descended from Aaron.
Summary of Hebrews Chap 7
* Melchizedek is the Man!
* He’s a foreshadow of Jesus – an example of God inserting Himself into
human affairs.
* He’s a man who is BOTH a Priest and a King – just like Jesus.
* He’s from a priestly order that does not depend on genealogy – just like
Jesus.
* He was chosen by God – just like Jesus.
* He was greater than Abraham & Aaron – so he was outside of the law.
