Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Text: Hebrews 1:1-3

Christ came in fulfillment of Prophets, Priests & Kings

Prophet—Guided God’s people in the way of righteousness by speaking the Word of God.

Priest—Represented the people before God.

King—Ruled justly over God’s people, according to God’s law. They also fought for the people, to protect them from their enemies and to bring peace.

• God did not intend for His people to be ruled by a king but He knew this would be the choice of His people once they entered the Promised Land:

                    Deuteronomy 17:14-20; 1 Samuel 8:7

• As our King, Jesus has won victory for us over sin.

James 4:7-8a; 1 John 4:4; Ephesians 2:4-6

• As our King, Jesus defeated death.

1 Corinthians 15:54b-57

• As our King, Jesus has brought us peace.

John 14:27

• As our King, Jesus has promised to give us rest.

Matthew 11:28-30
