Melchizedek

 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!
