Melchizedek's priesthood points us to Jesus, who is both our eternal High Priest and our sovereign King. Unlike the Levitical priests who had to make repeated sacrifices for sin, Jesus made one perfect sacrifice and sat down—His atoning work complete and final. As our King, Jesus has sovereign authority to ensure His intercession is effective. He rules over all creation. Every knee will bow to Him. And yet this King serves us as our faithful High Priest.
