Hebrews 5:5-7 - So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
Psalm 110:4 - The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”
Mark 14:36 - And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Application:
· Jesus is the now-reigning heir of David and the ultimate high priest
· Jesus piety formed the basis for His prayers being answered; now He stands to intercede for me and to help me
· During times of trial, Jesus entrusted Himself into the personal hands of His Father. So should I.
