When Abraham was returning from routing Chedorlaomer and his allies, Melchisedec met him in the valley of Shaveh, in the King’s Dale, and tendered to him and his weary troops, a refreshment of bread and wine. He also blessed Abraham, and thanked God for giving him the victory. Abraham acknowledged him the Priest of the Most High God, and gave him the tenth part of the spoil. Perhaps this was to shew God’s approbation of Abraham’s conduct, and to point out the future victories of our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross, in the hearts of his people, and, finally, over mystical Babylon, and its kings—the recovery of his elect, who lay in the hands of Satan, Sin, and Law; and of whom the Father had covenanted with his dear Son, _that he should divide the spoil with the strong_, because _he poured out his soul unto death_. While all who are interested in this great Work must exclaim, _Unto him that washed us from sin in his own blood_, _to him be glory_. _Amen_. _Now consider how great this Man was_, to whom Abraham gave the tenth of the spoil, and that blessed Abraham; and truly the less is blessed of the greater. May God the Holy Spirit assist us in our views of this great Man, the God-man Mediator, the Priest, the King, the All in All. We shall notice the opinion of others. We propose then to examine the Scripture testimony of this great One, and to answer the objections which rise in the mind, concerning the reality of this Person being _Lord_ and _Christ_. We shall finally notice the Nature of his Blessings.
