The Priests of the Bible: Mediators Pointing to the Great High Priest

A priest stood in the gap, carrying the people to God with sacrifice and prayer, and carrying God's word and blessing back to them. From the mysterious Melchizedek to Aaron and his sons, to the high priest who condemned Jesus, the priesthood was a long shadow waiting for its substance. Each page below tells one priest honestly and follows the line to Jesus, our great High Priest, who entered once for all with His own blood.
