IN GOD’S GRACE
Psalm 110:4
4 The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”
Genesis 14:18-20
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said,

Possessor of heaven and earth;

who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
ESV
Hebrews 7:14-17
14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 7:18
18 On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. ESV
Hebrews 4:15-16
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.

And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,

Hebrews 2:14-16
