Prophet, Priest, and King--- The Triple-cure

This advent during preaching portion of our weekly gatherings I plan to focus on what it means and what good it does to have "God with us". As a window into this... we will look at how Christ comes to us. One helpful way of understanding who Christ is and what He does is through the window of Jesus as Prophet, Jesus as Priest, Jesus as King.

"The threefold office of Christ has profound ramifications for the Christian life. First and foremost, this model enables us to connect the work of Christ, who has secured our redemption (which we discover only in the pages of Scripture), with our present experience and struggles as Christians. As John Calvin noted, the threefold office of Christ is certainly one of the best ways to explain our Lord's redemptive work, which by design overcame our ignorance, our guilt, and our corruption, and which even now provides us with illumination, redemption, and hope in the present." --Kim Riddlebarger

Please pray for me (Rob) as I meditate upon these truths and prepare these sermons.
