Message from Metropolitan Alexios
My Beloved Ones,
In the Epistle for this Sunday of the Holy Cross, St. Paul writes to the Hebrews reminding them that the High Priest was chosen from among men to make offerings to God on behalf of the people, and that “He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness…” (Hebrews 5) We also know that the first High Priest was Aaron, and that the responsibility was forever given to his descendants from his Tribe, Levi. However, as an imperfect human, Aaron was not the “type” who prefigured Christ, but instead, it was another Priest, known as Melchizedek.
