Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:1-28

Hebrews 7:1-Hosea : . The Melchizedek Priesthood of Christ.— It is shown that Scripture itself makes reference to a type of priesthood which is quite distinct from the Levitical. The nature of this priesthood is set forth ( Hebrews 7:1-2 Samuel :) in terms of the description given in Genesis 14 of the priest Melchizedek. That some peculiar significance attached to him may be inferred from his name, and the name of his city. Still more suggestive is the fact that nothing is said as to his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost: this inference proves his eminency in office above Aaron’s order by the efficacy of it; for he is possessor of a supernatural Divine power, which is able to save to perfection, to the full, to all ends, from sin, in its guilt, stain, and power; from its consequents, the curse, and wrath, and eternal death. What neither ourselves nor others could do for us, he is only able, and an willing as able, to set us in a safe, happy, blessed, and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:15-28

Hebrews 7:15-28 I. The Apostle announces a great principle in the words, "The law made nothing perfect." There was not a single point in which the law reached the end, for the end of the law is Christ. The imperfection of the law appears in these three points especially (1) The forgiveness of sin; (2) Access unto God was not perfected under the old dispensation; (3) They had not received the Holy Ghost as an indwelling spirit. The law made nothing perfect. For perfection is true, substantial,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:24-25

Hebrews 7:24-25 The intercession of Christ the strength of our prayers. Christ intercedes for us chiefly in two ways. I. First, by the exhibition of Himself in His Divine manhood, pierced for us, raised, and glorified. His five blessed and holy wounds are each one a mighty intercession on our behalf. The glorious tokens of His cross and passion, exhibited before the throne of God, plead for us perpetually. His very presence in heaven is in itself an intercession for us. His sacrifice on the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:25

Hebrews 7:25 Salvation to the uttermost. I. Christ Jesus is able to save to the uttermost: for there is no degree of guilt from which He cannot save. It would be a hard question to decide which is the worst form of human guilt. But we owe it to the power and grace of Immanuel to repeat that broader than human transgression is the Divine atonement. II. But not only can Jesus save to the uttermost extent of depravity, He can save to the uttermost hour of existence. Both truths may be abused, and... read more

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.THE Mosaic economy was never intended to be either universal or perpetual; not universal, because many of the principal rites prescribed by it could never be performed by those who were far distant from Judζa; nor perpetual, because, whilst it was yet in all its force and grandeur, its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:1-28

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Hebrews, the seventh chapter.In the book of Genesis, after Abraham and Lot had parted company, there was a confederation of five kings that conquered in the area where Lot lived, and took him captive and spoiled several cities. Abraham, hearing of it, armed his servants and he went out to met these five kings in battle, and defeated them. He took from them the spoils that they had taken from the many cities that they had conquered.As Abraham was returning... read more
