1495.—A Change of Law. Heb. 7: 12.

Please explain Heb. 7: 12, in regard to change of law. A. L. E.

The passage itself clearly tells us what law is referred to, namely, the law regulating the priesthood: "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." Of what law? —The law regulating the priesthood. The law of the Levitical priesthood excluded all from the priesthood save the tribe of Levi, and the house of Aaron, while, since the crucifixion, Jesus is priest, of the tribe of Judah. See verses 11-14.

1496.—"Sown in Dishonor." 1 Cor. 15: 43.

What does the scripture mean which says: "It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory"? R.

It simply means that the body of the Christian is corruptible, decaying, not worthy of honor, in fact, dishonored, if we look upon it from a purely human view-point. Many of them have gone down to a dishonorable death in the sight of the world; but they will come forth from the grave in the glory of Christ Jesus.
