The book of Hebrews may have been written for the Hebrew Christians, but it still rings true for us today. Hebrews 7 addresses some intellectual concerns the Hebrew Christians were struggling with, like how can this Jesus guy be our high priest when He isn't even from the right tribe?! The writer uses an old teaching strategy to help them understand--he connects what they're struggling to understand about Jesus with what they do understand about someone they already know, a king and priest named Melchizedek. This chapter also brings back into focus a common theme throughout the New Testament: It doesn't matter what you give, as long as it comes from the heart. It's a heart issue.
