Melchizedek serves as an object lesson for us. Here is a man we know next to nothing about. He meets Abraham on the road, and just like that Abraham gives Melchizedek a tenth of the plunder. We are given no other information about Melchizedek, but given the fact that he was given so much we can safely assume he did something to deserve it. We, on the other hand, have done nothing to deserve the salvation God gives, and yet we have been given complete salvation. God did not say, 'I forgive you for one tenth of your sins.' What would that even look like? No, God has erased all of our sins. Even when we did nothing, nor would do anything in the future, God gave us everything. God bless you.
