Hebrews 6:20 20… Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus is our High Priest forever. This “forever”
aspect changes the way we are blessed and how we receive our
blessings from God. As our High Priest, Jesus represents us
before God. Since His priesthood is after the order of
Melchizedek, which is one of righteousness, His righteousness
becomes our righteousness forever. This means that we are
forever righteous in God’s eyes!
And because He will never die, but continue as our High
Priest forever, we have an everlasting righteousness, not
merely a here-today-gone-tomorrow righteousness based on our
works. No, we have a perpetual and everlasting righteousness
because Jesus is our High Priest forever.
This also means that blessings are perpetually on your head
because the Bible says that blessings are on the head of the
righteous (Proverbs 10:6), and you are righteous forever!
Unlike the priesthood according to the Levitical order, which
blesses as well as curses, the priesthood of Jesus according
to the Melchizedek order only blesses. There is no cursing,
only blessing — always and forever!
And because Jesus is our High Priest forever, the blessings
do not come to us in intermittent drips, but stream into our
lives in a never-ending flow. Because He is our High Priest
forever, we can never stop His blessings.
By being our High Priest forever, Jesus also touches the
blessings that He gives us with a forever effect. He touches
our lives and we have eternal life. He touches our ministry
and its impact becomes eternal. And the more we see His
priesthood as having a forever effect, the more permanent our
blessings will be.
Truly, there is nothing temporal about what Jesus our High
Priest does. It is not a case of blessed today, cursed
tomorrow. The blessings we receive are sure and steadfast
because Jesus is our High Priest today, tomorrow and forever.
So rejoice because Jesus your High Priest changes how you are
blessed forever!
