Chris.
Melchizedek
was a Priest of the Most High God. We do not read much about him in the Bible,
yet he was a very significant person. From this we can learn that being
publicly significant is not really very important. We should rather aim to
please God. When our lives are pleasing to Him we can have Peace and a clear
conscience.
