Great Are The Offices He Bears (48 min)

Michael Penfold preaches on the three great mediatorial offices of the Messiah – ‘prophet’, ‘priest’ and ‘king’. The only person able to hold all three offices at one time is the Lord Jesus. The character, purpose and timing of each of these roles of Christ is examined, with special attention being given to His priesthood. The title of this message is taken from Samuel Medley’s famous hymn, “Come let us sing the matchless worth”, which contains the lines, “Great are the offices he bears, and bright his character appears, exalted on the throne: in songs of sweet untiring praise, we would to everlasting days, make all his glories known”. Readings: Exod 28:41, 30:30, 1 Kings 19:15-16, 1 Sam 16:6, 13. (Message preached in Saugus, MA, June 2015)
