Introduction

In this episode of A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace, hosts Alexa and Antonisha continue their deep dive into the study Christ in All of Scripture. Focusing on Season 4's reading plan, they explore Hebrews 7:11-17, examining its connections to the Old Testament and its portrayal of Christ.

Reading the Passage

Antonisha kicks off the session by reading Hebrews 7:11-17, setting the stage for their annotation and discussion:

"Now, if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need was there for another priest to be declared? It would be necessary to have another priest, in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron. For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. They are both related to the former, since the one who first sanctified by sacrifice falls under the latter. In the one case, the former priests were made; but what the latter priests are made, the composition of the power of an indestructible life has been testified. For it becomes clear that the fellowship of these things is ours, and this is why He is declared a priest forever."

Annotation and Insights

Alexa delves into the annotation process, addressing the first two prompts of their study:

Identifying Christ-Pointing Phrases:
- "Our Lord came from Judah" ([01:45])
  Alexa emphasizes the significance of Jesus’ lineage from Judah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies.
- "If another priest like Melchizedek appears" ([01:45])
  She highlights Melchizedek as a foreshadowing of Christ’s eternal priesthood.
- "Power of an indestructible life" ([01:45])

Noting God's Attributes:
- "For on the basis of it the people received the law" ([02:20])
  Alexa reflects on God's faithfulness in providing the Levitical priesthood, enabling the delivery of the Law to the Israelites.
- She connects this to God's gracious and loving nature, illustrating how the Law was given for the people’s obedience and ultimate flourishing.

Antonisha adds depth to the discussion by highlighting the interconnectedness of Scripture:

"The narrative about Melchizedek is all the way back in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, and then it takes us to Psalms and then all the way to Hebrews to really discover Melchizedek's significance in the biblical history and his connection to Christ." ([03:09])

She emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible in context to fully appreciate how figures like Melchizedek prefigure Christ.
