Hebrews 7 · Grade 3

A Better Hope

Name Date

Read the Story

Melchizedek was king of Salem. He was a priest of God Most High. He met Abraham and blessed him. Abraham gave him a tenth of the best plunder. The lesser is blessed by the greater, so Melchizedek was very great.

The priests from Levi could not make anything perfect. God promised a new priest in the order of Melchizedek. Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, not Levi. He became priest by the power of a life that never ends.

Many priests served, but each one died. But Jesus lives forever, so his priesthood never changes. He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, and he lives forever to pray for them.

Memory Verse

“But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.”
