Spiritual Gifts Part 267: Approved!…for what?
3. Reward: The WORK of Christ-His SERVICE - is to minister God to the creation – to be the mediator between God and man.
As the mediator between God and man, Christ has three offices:
The prophet speaks the message of God to the people. The priest speaks and acts on behalf of the people to God. He offers the sacrifice and He intercedes. The Lord Jesus Christ as High Priest made the efficacious sacrifice for the sins of the world, and now intercedes for the saints at the right hand of God. Finally, Jesus Christ exercises Kingly authority over all creatures, gathering up the people and governs them to the glory of God and the good of His people.
So Christ reconciles all things to the Father.
Who brings good news to the afflicted?
Who brings good news to the afflicted?
Who binds up the brokenhearted?
Who proclaims liberty to captives?
