Melchizedek

Jesus Christ is the Sun and the King of Righteousness, He is the Melchizedek, the one and only King of Righteousness.

"Now consider how great this Person was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. Truly, the sons of Levi who have received the office of the priesthood have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, from their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham. But He, whose genealogy is not counted from them, received tithes of Abraham and He blessed him who had the promises..

"It is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning the priesthood. (Hebrews 7:14). And without any contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater. So now men who die receive tithes, but then He [Jesus] received them, of whom it is witnessed that He lives" (Hebrews 7:7-8).

"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared, and certain others were with them. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb and they entered in, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. They were perplexed about this. Two men in shining garments stood nearby. The women were afraid and bowed their faces to the ground. The men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" (Luke 24:1-5).

It is He who lives (Hebrews 7:8).
