Summary

"Christ the True Melchisedec" by J. Church is a sermon that connects Jesus Christ to the biblical figure Melchisedec, describing Christ as the greatest priest and go-between. The story stresses the importance of Melchisedec as more than just a historical figure, highlighting Christ's everlasting priesthood and key role in saving people. The author explains that Melchisedec wasn't just a symbol of Christ, but actually Jesus before he was born on Earth. By carefully studying the Bible, especially the meetings between Melchisedec and Abraham, the sermon shows that Melchisedec was a king and priest who gave Abraham his blessing after Abraham won a battle. The main ideas are the endless nature of Christ's priesthood, the strength of his prayers for people, and the good things believers get through their faith in him. The purpose of this study is to help people better understand Christ's special power as the true Melchisedec, motivating them to acknowledge and accept the deep spiritual meanings of this connection.

About the Author

John Church was an Independent minister who was most famous for his involvement in the homosexual scandal of the Vere Street Coterie. He is claimed by some as the first openly ‘gay’ ordained Christian minister in England. Contemporary rumours about this are unproveable one way or the other, though circumstantial evidence may suggest that his "inordinate affections which led me into error" could be referring to homosexuality.
