  12. Redemptive History

  13. The Role of Mediator “The function of a mediator is to intervene between two parties in order to promote relations between them which the parties themselves are not able to effect.” – New Bible Dictionary

  14. Mysterious Priestly Predecessor Genesis 14:17-20 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High,    Creator of heaven and earth.And praise be to God Most High,    who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

  15. Mysterious Priestly Predecessor Melchizedek • ______________ is the first priest mentioned in scripture (Gen. 14:17-20). He mediates between God Most High & Abram giving a blessing and receiving tithes offered by Abram. This implies that Abram, who has received the promise/covenant of God is interacting with a superior. • The meanings behind names in this text are important in Near-East culture: • Melchizedek – • King of Salem – King of righteousness King of peace

  16. Priest from the People • The LORD appoints and consecrates _______as High Priest begins the mediation of a man from “among the people“ “He then presented the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar.” Lev. 8:14-15 Aaron

  17. The Great High Priest “If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the peopleestablished that priesthood — why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.” Heb. 7:11-13 “Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.” Heb. 7:23-24

  18. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.  ~ I Timothy 2:5-6
