Jesus’
Threefold Office
Part Two
The Priestly Task of Prayerful Presence
What is the priestly task of the pastor?
In the Heidelberg Catechism from the Protestant Reformation, Christians learned to proclaim their faith using threefold language:
“Because by faith I am a member of Christ, and thus a partaker of His anointing, in order that I also may confess his Name (the prophetic role), may present myself a living sacrifice (the priestly role) and fight against sin and the devil in this life, and in eternity rule with Him (the kingly role).”
In this fourth video, Nikolas continues unpacking the threefold office of Jesus (Prophet, Priest & King) as a pattern for our own pastoral ministry as we follow him.
