The Gospel
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of the promises given to the children of Israel. Three specific promises that Jesus fulfilled are the offices of prophet, priest, and king. During the Old Testament, each of these three offices had specific roles and responsibilities to be fulfilled by an appointed member of Israel. With their roles and responsibilities, these offices looked forward to Jesus. Jesus is the perfect and eternal Prophet, Priest, and King, who faithfully fulfills the roles and responsibilities of each office. Here are your goals for this project: Choose one of the three offices of Christ and write no less than 250 words, explaining what the passages say about Jesus fulfilling that office and how it impacts your life today. Questions to answer: What do the Old Testament passages say about the office you have chosen? What do the New Testament passages say about Jesus fulfilling that office? Why is this fulfillment important? How does this impact your life today?
