3. After what order was Jesus Christ made a High Priest? Hebrews 6:20.
NOTE: ‘In the covenant with Abraham, there was sacrifice and a priesthood, the Melchisedec priesthood. This also was essential to the entering upon the inheritance [the new earth], because “all have sinned,” and “without shedding of blood is no remission.” Therefore every one who will enter upon that grand inheritance [God’s aim for each of us] must be absolutely cleansed and purified from all sin. But this can be done only by that great sacrifice which God made in the gift of His Son, and by the ministration of that priest and priesthood of Christ unto which He was ordained by God alone, “after the order of Melchisedec.” Thus the sacrifice, and service, of the priesthood are also essential on behalf of every soul [the believing ones from the fall to the close of probation, not just the people of Israel] who shall enter into that inheritance, and are essential in order that he may enter into that inheritance.’ A. T. Jones, Review & Herald, January 30, 1900.
4. Who is the One who appointed Jesus as our High Priest? Psalm 110:4. Hebrews 5:4-6.
NOTE: ‘He emptied Himself so entirely that, in becoming the Saviour of the world, He did not set Himself forth in a way to make Himself prominent or to draw attention to Himself. “For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins … And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an high priest; but He that said unto Him ... Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”’ Hebrews 5:1, 4-6.’ A. T. Jones, Review & Herald, November 27,1900.
