May 12, 2024 • Michael Rodriguez • Hebrews 5:5–6, Hebrews 7:1–22

Through vivid imagery, the writer of Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus surpasses any imitation or religious system, pointing out his superiority over the Levitical priesthood and the law. Melchizedek is used as a symbol to highlight Jesus' greatness and the inadequacy of the levitical system. Jesus is portrayed as the ultimate solution, bringing hope, transformation, and a new covenant that sets believers free.
