Jesus, The Resurrection, and You

As we enter this season of Advent, we’re going to focus in on what theologians have called “The Threefold Office” of Christ: Prophet, Priest, and King. In the Old Testament, these three offices were held by different individuals, each of whom was anointed for their role. The prophets spoke the Word of God to the people. The priests were mediators on behalf of the people. And the kings served as ruling shepherds over the people. The long history of frail and fallible humans in these offices pointed forward to a greater Prophet, Priest, and King who was to come.
