In Genesis 14, Moses relays a fascinating encounter between Abraham and Melchizedek, a High Priest of God. We learn that God had arranged this encounter as a means of representing His future plan: for Jesus to die and take the place of a priest in our lives?to become an intercessor between humans and God for our sins. Through his death, Jesus had superseded priesthood forever. As a result we are no longer bound to the law, but can draw near to God through faith in Jesus.
