1 Melchizedek was a king in a place named Salem. He was a God helper. He met Abraham after a big fight and blessed him. ️ 2 Abraham gave Melchizedek one tenth of what he had. Melchizedek’s name means king of right and good, and king of peace. ✋1️⃣0️⃣️ 3 We do not read his dad or mom. We do not see his start or end. He is like God’s Son. He is a God helper for ever. ❓♾️ 4 See how great he was! Abraham, a big man, gave him one tenth. ⭐✋1️⃣0️⃣ 5 Men from Levi are God helpers too. They take one tenth from the people, who are also from Abraham. ✋1️⃣0️⃣ 6 But Melchizedek was not from Levi. He took one tenth from Abraham and blessed him, the man God gave promises to. ✋1️⃣0️⃣ 7 The big one blesses the small one. That is sure. ➡️ 8 Here, men who die take the tenth. There, it says Melchizedek lives. ⏳➡️✋1️⃣0️⃣ | ️ 9 In a way, Levi paid too, through Abraham. ✋1️⃣0️⃣ 10 Levi was not born yet. He was still in Abraham when Melchizedek met him. ⏳ 11 The old God helper way did not make all good. So we need a new God helper, like Melchizedek, not like Aaron. 12 When the God helper job changes, the rule changes too. 13 The One we talk about came from a tribe that did not work at God’s table. 14 It is clear. Our Lord Jesus came from Judah. Moses did not say men from Judah can be God helpers. ✝️ 15 It is even more clear when a new God helper comes, like Melchizedek. 16 He is a God helper not by family law, but by His strong life that does not end. ♾️ 17 God says, “You are a God helper for ever, like Melchizedek.” ️♾️ 18 The old rule was weak. It was put away. ️ 19 The law did not make us all good. A better hope came. By this we come near to God. ➡️ 20 All this came with God’s oath, a strong promise. ️ 21 Men were God helpers with no oath, but Jesus was made with God’s oath: “The Lord said, You are a God helper for ever.” God will not change His mind. ✝️️♾️ 22 So Jesus makes a better deal for us with God. ✝️ 23 Many old God helpers were there, but they died, so there were many of them. ⚰️➡️ 24 But Jesus lives for ever. His God helper job stays. ✝️♾️ 25 So He can save all who come to God by Him. He lives to speak to God for them all the time. ✝️️ 26 We need a Big God Helper like Him. He is holy. He did no wrong. He is clean. He is high in heaven. ✝️✨☁️ 27 He does not need to give gifts every day like other big God helpers. He did it once for all. He gave Himself for us. ✝️✅ 28 The law picks weak men as big God helpers. But God’s oath picks the Son. He is perfect for ever. ✝️♾️
