The Levitical Priesthood, though weak, is a type that points to the present and future priestly ministry of Jesus Christ. As examination of Hebrews 7 present eight truths about Christ’s Priesthood compared to the Levitical.
One, Christ’s Priesthood represents all humanity, while the Levitical Priesthood represented only Israel.
Two, Christ is both priest and king, while Aaron and his descendants were only priests.
Three, Christ’s Priesthood is characterized by righteousness and peace, while the Levitical Priesthood was characterized by sin and judgment.
Four, Christ did not inherit nor pass on His priesthood, whereas the Levitical Priesthood was passed down from generation to generation.
Five, Christ’s Priesthood brought perfection, whereas the Levitical Priesthood failed to perfect.
Six, Christ’s sacrifice brought about justification and life, while the Levitical Priesthood was unable to produce justification or life.
Seven, Christ remains a priest forever, whereas the Levitical Priests could serve only till the age of fifty.
Eight, Christ as a priest is sinless and needed no sacrifice for Himself, whereas the Levitical Priests were sinners in need of a sacrifice.
