Christ AhnSahngHong Came In The Order Of Melchizedek

I felt this blog was a long time coming. I was thinking to myself, "The truths in the bible are amazing. Who else can teach like this? There is no way, its so perfect." I was so overjoyed. The confidence that comes with knowing the bible and your savior is so awesome that it brings great joy to you. One of these truths is the truth of Melchizedek. No one knows Melchizedek! When is the last time you heard, "Jesus Christ came to save us according to the order of Melchizedek"? I'm still waiting. The tie between Christ and Melchizedek is a profound truth which we have to know. Let's begin to learn...

Hebrews 5:8-10 "Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek."

The salvation of Christ came to us in the order of Melchizedek. Simply put, without understanding Melchizedek, how can you understand the salvation which Christ brought? Understanding Melchizedek will allow you to fully understand Christ. So what is the order of Melchizedek?

Genesis 14:17-20 "After Abram returned...Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

This is very important. Why? Because this is the only time Melchizedek is ever mentioned in the Old Testatment. There is one more verse in Psalms but this is basically it. Abraham, the forefather of faith, is considered among the greatest in the bible. Yet, this time it is not Abraham that gives any blessing, he only receives the blessing. Since the greater blesses the lesser, we can guess how important Melchizedek is. Not only that but the way of blessing is completely out of the norm. At a time when sacrifices are the things acceptable to God, Melchizedek blesses with bread and wine. Strange, don't you think? Actually, these are a shadow of the things to come (Hebrews 10:1). Now, let's see the reality.

Matthew 26:19 "So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover."

Matthew 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Wait. Passover night a lamb should be sacrificed. Jesus didn't sacrifice a lamb. Instead, he brought out bread and wine. Why did he do like this? By bringing out bread and wine he promises us his body and blood, therefore, giving us salvation. Now you can see, the salvation of Christ that came to us, in the order of Melchizedek. Passover of the new covenant is given to us by Christ. However, since no one has kept it Christ himself has come back to give us this salvation

Hebrews 9:28 "so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."

In the order of Melchizedek, our Christ has come! Christ AhnSahngHong has come to us and blessed us with the bread and wine of life! Christ AhnSahngHong has restored the Passover of the new covenant. By bringing out bread and wine, he testified himself. He is the true 2nd Coming Christ, in the order of Melchizedek. There is so much more I wish I could tell you but for now, this is enough. God bless you.
