What are the most important prophecies concerning the Lord Christ as a priest?
Q348 · Our Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the World
“The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.’ The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. The Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’” (Ps. 110:1–4). Through the death of the Lord Christ on the cross, His resurrection and ascension to the heavens, He offered Himself as a sacrifice to God the Father and became Himself a priest forever who gives those who believe in Him bread and wine just as Melchizedek offered in the past, but which are His holy Body and Blood.
