Priesthood of Christ, Aaron & Melchisedec Comparison Series: 4

"Paul evidently considered the Levitical priesthood typical of
Christ's from the pains he takes to explain the analogies and contrasts between them; 
"And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but this Man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
"Who needeth not daily, as those high priests to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins, and then for the people's; for this He did once when He offered up Himself." 
 "For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the law, maketh the Son who is consecrated (perfected, margin) for evermore;" Hebrews 7:23-28
---"But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry" than theirs; Hebrews 8:6."
O.L. Crosier
