In today’s message we will discuss a meeting between Abram and Melchizedek, the King of Salem, and then we will see a particularly seductive temptation of Abram when the meeting between Abram and the king of Sodom occurs. God will always prepare us for the temptations or trails that we will face, and in this case, He brings Melchizedek out to meet Abram first.
As I read these verses, several questions just jump right out at me. To begin with, where did this man Melchizedek come from? He just walks out onto the page of Scripture with bread and wine, he blesses Abram, and then he walks off the page of Scripture. It makes me want to know where he came from, then I wonder where he is going, and I wonder what his business is when he is not out greeting Abram.
The Scripture tells us that he is the king of Salem, but it also tells us that he is a priest of the most high God. Which brings up another question: How did he find out about “the most high God”? Melchizedek describes God as the most high God, which means the Creator of heaven and earth. In other words, the living God, the God of Genesis 1, the God of Noah, and the God of Enoch. This is the One true God that this king, named Melchizedek, is the priest of.
Click on the link below to hear a message that gives us the answers to these questions. Learn that the Bible describes Melchizedek as a type of Christ, or an illustration of Christ. Melchizedek compares to Christ in that the Lord Jesus comes out of eternity, and He moves into eternity. He has no beginning and no end. He is the beginning. He is the end. You can’t go beyond Christ in the past, and you can’t go beyond Him in the future. He encompasses all of time, and all of eternity.
