LESSON #8 OCTOBER 25, 2026
SUBJECT: THE HIGH PRIEST FOREVER
BIBLE BASIS: HEBREWS 7:1-3, 19b-28
BIBLE TRUTH: Jesus' priesthood will last forever because He lives forever.
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 7:24 King James Version
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
LESSON AIM: By the end of the lesson, we will:
CONSIDER: the relationship between Melchisedec, "priest of the Most High God," with Jesus the "Priest forever."
APPRECIATE: that people have someone who intercedes for them to God.
RESPOND: to the realization that Jesus will always be our ultimate spiritual leader.
Hebrews 7:1-3 King James Version
7 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:19-28 King James Version
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore 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.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
