King, Priest, Prophet
Monarchial Period & Beyond
- King(ship) was an obvious office during this period, just as was High
Priest(ship), though priesthood predated kingship.
- all three offices, as given and as executed under the dispensation of
The Law (by chosen but fallen individuals) were imperfect and
temporal.
- all three offices spoke of a Greater King, a Greater Priest, a Greater
Prophet (that of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth).
Jesus Christ of Nazareth:
(i) unified the three offices by His life and work on the cross,
(ii) did so by being all three offices in one Person,
(iii) redefined these offices by surpassing all of them,
(iv) has permanently fulfilled (or will fulfill) these offices.
Personal Applications:
1. Put on Christ’s kingly robes (character):
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
2. Walk Christ’s priestly walk (faith):
Hebrews 12 1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3. Forth-tell Christ’s message (the gospel):
Matthew 28 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost 20teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
I Peter 2. 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Questions:
KINGSHIP: Who is on the throne of my heart (concerned with lands or Lordship)? Who will be my King?
PRIESTLINESS: Is my heart like a place of worship? Do I rely on a clergyman or do I worship Christ Himself, myself?
‘PROPHECY’: Do my heart and mind know and receive God’s guidance and comfort?
