Jesus – Prophet, Priest and King

Introduction: This devotion will attempt to pull back the drapes and let us SEE JESUS! That is the great need today – for us to SEE JESUS. One of the main themes integrated within the pages of the book of Hebrews is the SUPERIORITY of Jesus Christ. Let’s see Jesus in His 3-fold role:

1. We would SEE JESUS as a SUPERIOR PROPHET!

“1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.” (Heb 1:1,2)

Jesus Christ came to reveal the Father. He came to live without sin and therefore be able to take away our sins through His redeeming blood. He predicted that He would be crucified but also that He would be resurrected from the dead. That has been fulfilled. That means the only thing left is for Him to return, which He will in due time.

2. We would SEE JESUS as a SUPERIOR PRIEST!

“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Heb 1:2,3)

While at the right hand, Jesus is interceding for us at this moment as our great high PRIEST! Hallelujah!!

3. We would SEE JESUS as a SUPERIOR KING!

3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Heb 1:3)

Jesus was God in the flesh. He died for our sins that we might be forgiven and have eternal life. Then, He conquered the grave and ascended on high only to sit down at the right hand of the Father. He will return as the “King of Kings” and the “Lord of Lords” at His second coming.

Conclusion: Jesus will come again. Right now He is seated at the right hand of the Father on His throne. He is waiting to come again. Is Jesus Lord and Master of your life?
