Question 22 — The Priesthood of Christ

We have now to consider the Priesthood of Christ; and under this head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether it is fitting that Christ should be a priest?

• (2) Of the victim offered by this priest;
• (3) Of the effect of this priesthood;
• (4) Whether the effect of His priesthood pertains to Himself, or only to others?
• (5) Of the eternal duration of His priesthood;
• (6) Whether He should be called a priest according to the order of Melchisedech?
