Consider the Greatness

Babs Adewunmi invites listeners to consider the greatness of the Melchizedek priesthood through Hebrews 7. He stresses the repeated language of kingship, righteousness and peace, then connects that priesthood to his understanding of the gospel of the kingdom. Melchizedek’s likeness to the Son of God and continuing priesthood become the basis for a wide-ranging account of Christ’s authority across time. The middle section dwells on the command to consider: attentive, sustained study rather than a passing glance. Abraham’s tithe and blessing are used to explain greatness as a capacity to bless, with an explicit rejection of hierarchy used to oppress people. Bread and wine connect the Genesis narrative with Christ’s self-offering. The speaker then extends Levi’s presence in Abraham’s loins into claims about spiritual lineage, unborn descendants and bodily bloodlines, bringing in 1 Corinthians 7. Those extensions are his theological interpretation and are not evidence that DNA, illness or another person’s choices are altered by a minister’s declaration. The closing argument reads the change of priesthood and law in Hebrews 7, then turns to Ephesians 2’s reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles in one body through Christ. Adewunmi locates that reconciling work within the priesthood he has been describing. The teaching ends with righteousness and kingship language before a promotional conference animatic repeats seed, fruit, priesthood and peace imagery. The practical response is sustained study, service that blesses rather than dominates, and attention to reconciliation, while distinguishing the biblical passages from speculative elaborations.
