Hebrews 7 - Once For All

Melchizedek is certainly a mysterious character from the Old Testament, and reading Hebrews 5-7 really helps understand not only who he is, but also how Jesus has removed our need for a revolving door of high priests.  Jesus has become a permanent, eternal intercessor on our behalf.  He has become "the guarantee of a better covenant" (v. 22).  He has a "permanent priesthood" (v. 24).  And He sacrificed Himself once for all (v. 27), ensuring that we who come to God through Him are saved completely (v. 25).
