We have the
priesthood of Christ
above and the
Word of God
here. The priesthood of Christ, at the Father’s right hand, applies to all our infirmities, failure, trials and weakness, but not our flesh. Our High Priest is full of tenderness and mercy (see
Heb. 4:15-16
15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15‑16)
). He sustains us according to the blessing, which is given us entirely out of the reach of the flesh.
His fitness for this work is the title of His person (
Heb. 5:5-6
5
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Hebrews 5:5‑6)
), and God says He is worthy:
“Thou art My Son”
(
Heb. 1:5
5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Hebrews 1:5)
). In the title for office as priest, He is forever after the order of Melchisedec.
The
Word of God
is living and powerful (
Heb. 4:12
12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
). The believer’s life through this world is the judgment of the flesh by the Word.
