Melchizedekian Masterpiece – a Hebrews 7 Craft

Materials:

• Paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Colored pencils/markers

Instructions:

1. Fold the paper in half to create a card.
2. On the front of the card, draw a picture of Melchizedek (a king who appears in the book of Genesis and is mentioned in Hebrews 7).
3. On the inside of the card, write out Hebrews 7:1-3, which describes Melchizedek as a "priest of God Most High" who "had no mother or father or genealogy" and was "like the Son of God."
4. Cut out a small triangle and glue it to the top of the card to create a crown for Melchizedek.
5. Use colored pencils or markers to decorate the card with symbols of God’s greatness, such as stars or a rainbow.

Optional:

If you want to take this craft to the next level, consider adding some of the following elements:

• Embellish the front of the card with gold or silver accents to represent the richness and majesty of Melchizedek’s priesthood.
• Add a small bag of spices (such as frankincense or myrrh) to the card as a reminder of the gifts presented to Jesus by the Magi, who were also kings.
• Use calligraphy or other fancy handwriting techniques to write out the Bible verses on the inside of the card.
