The writer of Hebrews explains the meaning of Melchizedek’s name: “Melchi” = King “Tzedek” (or “Zedek”) = Righteousness Hence, Melchizedek literally means “King of Righteousness.” He was also King of Salem, meaning “King of Peace.”(Hebrews 7:2) Similarly when we look at the prophecies declared about Jesus Christ in the book of Jeremiah and Isaiah - In Jeremiah 23:6 states that in a future time, Judah will be saved and Israel will dwell safely under a righteous ruler, and that this ruler will be called "The LORD Our Righteousness" and In Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah’s prophecy calls Jesus the “Prince of Peace,”. Melchizedek stands as a symbol of Christ , our eternal High Priest (“You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” — Hebrews 7:17). Just as Melchizedek had no recorded beginning or end, Jesus’ priesthood is everlasting. Through Him, we find mercy, grace, and access to God’s presence forever. When we look at Melchizedek's life - Though it is mentioned for a very...

  Psalm 1 serves as a gateway to the entire Book of psalms, presenting a thoughtful contrast between two ways of life—one that leads to divine blessing and another that ends in judgment. This psalm divides humanity into three categories: The Blessed (Righteous) The Judged (Wicked) The Approved (Those known by God) 1. The Blessed (Psalm 1:1-3)           The psalm opens with a declaration of blessing ("Blessed is the man...")  further explaining blessed life is not accidental but the result of deliberate choices.                     A.

Nor stands in the path of sinners – God will bless those who refuse to adopt the lifestyle of those who live in rebellion against God. Nor sits in the seat of scoffers – Will be blessed, w...

  “You have kept count of my tossing; put my tears in your bottle. Are they in your record?” (Psalm 56:8) We are always in the assumption that — only we have the biggest problems in life & nobody has. In addition, we always keep worrying saying, all are enjoying in their lives, why is it only me—have to suffer so much, as I keep questioning myself.  However, when we look at the word of God, which is described as a lamp & the way in the Bible … Guides me through certain stories from the Bible, which shows the answers from God for the tears of the great people of God ­­­ — when they cried unto God for their hardships. Let us look at them; 1. TEARS OF HAGAR :  ( Genesis 21:16 Hagar said 'Do not let me look on the death of the child. And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept.)   We see Hagar weeping here, being helpless for her child. Similarly, we do also keep crying & weeping — many times concerning our children at home for their ac...

Agur is a mysterious figure who is believed to have been a wise man who lived in the ancient world. The sayings of Agur are found in Proverbs 30:1-33.
