Melchizedek, a mysterious king and priest from the Old Testament, serves as a powerful "Easter egg," foreshadowing the coming of Christ and assuring us that God's eternal plan is true. Jesus is our true and greater Melchizedek, a High Priest whose position is not based on lineage but on the power of an indestructible life. He is the guarantor of a new and better covenant—one that isn't a fragile deal dependent on us, but an unbreakable promise God made to Him. Because of this, Jesus is able to save us to the "uttermost." He provides a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty on our salvation, accomplishing it from beginning to end. Even when we fail, Jesus, our perfect High Priest, continually intercedes for us, making our salvation secure in Him.
