how did Jesus fulfill the priesthood of Melchizedek?
Jesus fulfilled the priesthood of Melchizedek by presenting His own blood, as the great High Priest who passed into the heavens. He is the High Priest of all, Jesus the Son of God, and He can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
Les teaches from Hebrews 4:14–16 that believers have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens. He recalls that when Christ presented His own blood, as studied in John chapter 20, He was fulfilling the priesthood of Melchizedek, the High Priest of all. This High Priest is Jesus the Son of God, and He is not unable to be touched; positively, He can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. Because He is constantly aware of our moment-by-moment existence, believers are to hold fast their profession, especially while facing daily temptation.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
