A Superior Priesthood
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It becomes more evident,
When another priest arises;
As Melchizedek has sent,
Another that advises.
So who has become a priest,
Without a prerequisite;
Not legal to say the least,
Schooling inappropriate.
An indestructible life,
The power witnessed by Him;
Priest forever over strife,
The strength of spiritual vim.
One commandment set aside,
Because of its uselessness,
Disregarded to abide,
Since it has such a weakness.
The Law made nothing perfect,
But that on the other hand;
As in Christ not to reject,
What the Father did command.
A better hope introduced,
Through which we draw near to God;
When the darkness has seduced,
Attempting to make us flawed.
