Christmas’ Prophet, Priest, and King

Selected Scriptures

 

3 clues to finding Christmas’ gift

1. Look for a prophet who is the revelation of God

OT Prophets...
1. Say ALL that God tells you to say
2. Don’t say ANYTHING that God doesn’t tell you to say
3. If you mess with ANY of this, you should die

2. Look for a priest who is your sacrifice for sin

3. Look for a king who is King of Kings

“A Prophet, a Priest, and a King are essential needs for man whose sin necessarily separates him from God and precludes him from approaching God on his own. With the Fall came a tragic and drastic change in man and his relationship with the Lord. Iniquity separated man from God and sin hid God’s face from man. When man fell, he lost the knowledge of God that must be renewed if a man is to be saved from sin. So man needs a prophet to reveal God. When man fell he lost the righteousness and holiness in which he was created. So man needs a priest to reconcile him to God. When man fell, he became prey to the enemy of his soul who had power to hold him subject to bondage. Man needs a king to reign, to subdue every enemy of his soul. What man needed, God in His wondrous and amazing grace provided in the person of His own Son, his and our Messiah.”
