Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Hebrews 7:19

DISCOURSE: 2297THE SUPERIORITY OF THE CHRISTIAN ABOVE THE MOSAIC DISPENSATIONHebrews 7:19. The law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.THAT the Jewish religion is superseded by the Christian, is well known: but, why it is superseded, and what relation the two have to each other, is not so generally considered.The true light in which the law is to be considered, is this; it was “a shadow of the things which were to be more fully... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Hebrews 7:4

The Man Christ Jesus A Sermon (No. 1835) Delivered on Lord's Day Morning, April 12th, 1885, by C. H. SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "Now consider how great this man was. " Hebrews 7:4 . CONSIDER how great Melchizedek was. There is something majestic about every movement of that dimly-revealed figure. His one and only appearance is thus fitly described in the Book of Genesis, "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most... 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
