Holy Communion

One of the ‘mystery men’ of the Old Testament is Melchizedek. We encounter him in 3 brief verses of Genesis and he gets a reference in Ps 110. In the New Testament, we get a whole chapter of comment in the book of Hebrews. Who was he?

1) King of ‘Salem’ = King of Peace
2) King of Righteousness
3) King of Jerusalem
4) Blesser of Father Abraham
5) Blesser of God Most High
6) Receiver of the tithe
7) Priest of the Most High God

This man looks very like a person who lived some 2,000 years after Abraham, who is known as Prince of Peace, King of Righteousness, Blesser of all peoples who believe, High Priest and Son of God.

What’s more, he comes to Abraham with bread and wine to confer his blessing... Just who is this man of mystery?
