THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD

THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD
 
The Melchizedek priesthood is a priesthood of life, and of fadeless glory. It is a priesthood of eternal fellowship and communion with Christ, and not like the Aaronic priesthood which experienced the presence of God only on a certain occasion, once in the year. It is a priesthood that is established by the word and oath of God Himself. It is a priesthood which cannot pass away, for there is no death in the fullness of this new order. It is a priesthood of royal power and authority. Gone shall be the bondage of the world, the flesh, and the Devil. For this priesthood introduces the royal-priest behind the veil, behind the flesh. The flesh is rent asunder, and the glory of God is unveiled. The Head has already entered into this priesthood–and if He has entered it means the way is open for others to follow. “Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Heb. 6:20). It is a “new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh” (Heb. 10:20). Can you hear these words, child of God? “For us…” Not for the Church of the past centuries, for they did not hear these beautiful words, and therefore it had no application to them. But “for us” to whom the Word of God is now given. Not to men of some future dispensation or some future Kingdom: but “for us” who live in this day of opportunity, this today of hope and promise. “To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart…” In the fullness of this new priesthood we shall be completely glorified, like unto Christ. But even as Christ began His priesthood on earth by interceding for His brethren–so let us begin even now to possess this glorious heritage in the Spirit, the Kingdom of God within.
