Without

We are told here of many things that Melchizedek, was without.
Without any of the normal comforts and pleasures of this life...
Without any of the support...
Without any of the permissions inherent in your family status...
You see, we tend to think that it is the things we have been given that determine our abilities and our possibilities.
We tend to think that we can be disqualified to serve or even belong to God by the mistakes we have made or the things we did NOT do, or possess.
But this man was without these normal things that we think of as required, and yet He is who He is, and does what He does.
