Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Hebrews 7:25

Salvation to the Uttermost A Sermon Delivered on Sabbath Evening, June, 8, 1856, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon At Exeter Hall, Strand. "Where he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25 . SALVATION is a doctrine peculiar to revelation. Revelation affords us a complete history of it, but nowhere else can we find any trace thereof. God has written many books, but only one book has had for its aim the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:1-28

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Hebrews, the seventh chapter.In the book of Genesis, after Abraham and Lot had parted company, there was a confederation of five kings that conquered in the area where Lot lived, and took him captive and spoiled several cities. Abraham, hearing of it, armed his servants and he went out to met these five kings in battle, and defeated them. He took from them the spoils that they had taken from the many cities that they had conquered.As Abraham was returning... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 7:1-28

Hebrews 7:1 . This Melchizedec, to whose illustrious history he now returns, from Hebrews 5:11, was first by name or title king of righteousness, and afterwards king of Salem, that is, king of peace. But surely it is hard work for critics to write a commentary of this, the most remarkable of ancient characters, after St. Paul has given the finishing touch to the portrait. How would the rabbins read it, to find an illustration here which none of the doctors could see. Priest of the most... read more

Hebrews 7:1-10Melchisedec, king of SalemMelchisedecI.MELCHISEDEC WAS “KING OF SALEM.” 1. Salem was certainly in Canaan--the land where Melchisedec and Abraham met. (1) It is not a matter of course that Canaan was already wholly given up to idolatry and crime; and therefore Melchisedec may have been himself a Canaanite, and may also have found a body of worshippers of the true God among whom he could discharge his functions. (2) Even if Canaan was more idolatrous than we have sufficient reason... read more

Hebrews 7:11-13A change also of the lawChange in the lawIt is modified in these circumstances: 1.In regard of justification (Acts 13:39). The law was first given to justify the observers thereof; but now in regard of man’s corruption that is impossible (Romans 8:3; Galatians 3:11). God therefore now hath appointed another means for that end, which is Christ and faith in Him Acts 13:39; Romans 3:28). 2. In regard of the rigour thereof. The law accepteth no duty but that which is every way... read more

Hebrews 7:14-24Our Lord sprang out of JudaA new priesthood1.Jesus sprang from the royal tribe of Judah, not from the sacerdotal tribe of Levi. The apostle intentionally uses a term that glances at Zechariah’s prediction (Hebrews 7:14) concerning Him who shall arise as the dawn, and be a Priest upon His throne. We shall therefore entitle Him “Lord,” and say that “ our Lord “ has risen out of Judah. He is Lord and King by right of birth. But this circumstance, that He belongs to the tribe of... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hebrews 7:25

Hebrews 7:25Able also to save them to the uttermostChrist the Saviour of sinnersI.THE ABILITY OF CHRIST TO SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST. That Christ is able to save, may be argued from His appointment to that work by the Father, whose infinite wisdom could employ no means inadequate to the purpose they were designed to accomplish. That He is able to save, may be argued from the dignity of His person, and His possession as God and as man of every qualification necessary in a Saviour. That He is able to... read more
