“Why Did He Come to Earth?”
December 14, 2008
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.” Matthew 5:17-18
How did Jesus accomplish His task?
Jesus came as a Prophet.
As a prophet, Jesus confronts us with (and as) the Word of God.
Jesus came as a Priest.
As a priest, Jesus comforts us and comes to us to save us from sin (exchanged life).
Jesus came as a King.
As a king, Jesus commands us to relinquish the authority of our lives.
Application:
How does that work in my life?
What happens when we under-emphasize or over-emphasize one of the three?
