Explained connections

A priest after the order of Melchizedek Psalms 110:4 and Hebrews 5:6
The same psalm that enthrones David's Lord also swears he is a priest for ever after Melchizedek's order. Hebrews builds its whole argument on this oath: Jesus holds a royal priesthood older and greater than Levi's.
Called like Aaron Exodus 28:1 and Hebrews 5:4
God appoints Aaron and his sons as priests. Hebrews notes no one takes this honour for himself; Christ too was appointed by God, though to a higher priestly order.
