The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
— Psalm 110:4 (NIV)
Here Jesus is shown in the liturgical robes of a priest. One can tell that this is Jesus because of the letters I AM, one of God’s names, and the letters IC XC the Greek initials for Jesus Christ. N I K A are Greek letters for victory. Jesus is holding the Agnus Dei, the sacrificial lamb for our sins. He is both the victim and the priest.
