Hebrews 7:17-24

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Hebrews 7:17-24

17For it is testified:
“You are a priest forever
in the order of Melchizedek.”
18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him:
“The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind:
‘You are a priest forever.’”
22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
