Melchizedek, a Type of Christ

Now today, I want to introduce to you this man Melchizedek who was the king of Salem, and the priest of the Most High God. I want to remind you that there is a two-fold typical priesthood which is set forth in the Old Testament Scriptures; first, the Levitical, that priesthood which began with Aaron, and which we have studied somewhat a few weeks ago now. And the priesthood of Melchizedek, of whom it is said, that our Lord Jesus Christ is a Priest forever according to his order, the order of Melchizedek. Both of these priesthoods foreshadowed our Lord High Priestly ministry, but Melchizedek's in some ways, in a greater way whether we consider his person, or what he offered was symbolizing.
