Messianic Offices
What are the three messianic offices?
How is Jesus a prophet?
How is Jesus a priest?
What part of Jesus’ life do we associate with his kingship?
Who is Jesus like in his kingship?
David, whose dynasty was promised to remain forever
Christ the King
Matthew 4:8–11 (CSB)
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”
Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan!
For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”
Then the devil left him, and angels came and began to serve him.
How did Christ become a king?
Not through the temptations of Satan, nor by divine fiat, but by subjecting himself to God’s will.
Matthew 28:18 (CSB)
Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Jesus’ kingship begins with his resurrection
His Death the Premise of His Kingship
Luke 24:26 (CSB)
Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?”
On the road to Emmaus, Jesus questions two of his disciples
Christ’s work as prophet, and as priest, are the necessary basis for his exaltation as king.
Prophet and Priest are part of his descent … King is part of his ascent!!
His Kingdom not of this World
Jesus is a king.
He is not a worldly king.
His kingdom is spiritual.
His mission was to attest that coming, spiritual kingdom.
Kingdom of Power, Grace, and Glory
Every king must have a kingdom; we’ve recognized that Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world, but what more can we say about it?
Power
Christ’s dominion with reference to the world
The Eternal Son of God has always exercised sustaining governance over creation, but it is Christ’s death for all that confirms his right to rule over all.
Grace
Christ’s dominion with reference to the Church
The kingdom of grace is simultaneously a kingdom of heaven and a kingdom already being received here on earth
Christ’s kingly rule is manifested among those who live in union with him
Glory
Christ’s dominion with reference to the future life
Nicene Creed:
“On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.”
So what?
Why does it matter that Christ is King?
Why does it matter that Jesus is Prophet, Priest, and King for that matter?
It matters because it shows that Christ has perfectly fulfilled God’s will in everything
It matters because the evil that persists in this world now is only temporary, as the kingdom of God continues to grow until it is consummated in glory
It matters because Christ’s authority gives us authority
It matters because Christ is coming again
