A Priest of Righteousness (Genesis 14; Hebrews 7)

Sometimes a character makes an appearance, and you wonder what happened to him. Well, Melchizedek is one of those characters. He gets a total of 3 verses in the story of Abram and then he disappears. He's mentioned once in Psalm 110. But then he makes a roaring comeback in Hebrews 5-7.

What we are tempted to do is fill in the gaps about the story of Melchizedek. What we must do, however, is to focus on the main characters of the story. Genesis 14 is about Abram. Psalm 110 is about the Davidic King. And Hebrews 7 is about how Jesus is greater than Melchizedek.
