Many times we here regarding Jesus, 'by his Father he was designated a high priest after the order of Melchizedek'. (Hebrews 5: 9-10)
I'm still in Genesis. Genesis! The beginning! Abram in Genesis 14: 17-20 has won in battle and Melchizedek receives Abram. Abram pays homage to the high priest.
Pay attention.
Abram is a hero/celebrity/victor, and Abram pays homage to the priest. That's demonstrates what high regard Melchizedek had.
Now the role of a priest is to offer sacrifice. Is there a lamb anywhere?
No.
What did Melchizedek bring?
Genesis 14: 18!
