| | | Christ in His Priestly Office
What a glorious truth it is that not only is Christ our Prophet, in that He is the Word Made Flesh, Come Down to tell us Law and Gospel, not only is He our King, reigning and ruling over all that is, but He is also our Priest, Who brings up the prayers, confession, and supplication of His people to the Father. He is the Great Mediator and the Sacrifice by which we know God. I was greatly edified by this sermon and hope it will be a blessing to you as well. Christ Our Priest, Part 1

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Joshua For This Useful Post: | |

If you cannot repair the link, could you please relate some of what was taught? I find myself craving more Christ-centered discussion. (I wish there was a Christology forum on PB!)

(I wish there was a Christology forum on PB!) | I would be unable to do it justice. I will post again as soon as the link is fixed. I talked to the fella that uploads the sermons and he should be able to have it taken care of by tomorrow morning. I'll repost then. Sorry to have jumped the gun!

Josh, I look forward to listening. Owen has much good to say on the topic -- here is a brief snippet from his commentary on Hebrews (8:1) Quote: |
He would teach us, that whatever be the glory and dignity of this high priest, without an interest in him, without an especial relation unto him, unless “we have an high priest,” we are not concerned therein. Many do give their assent unto this truth, that Christ is a high priest; but how or wherein he is so to them they know not, nor yet do they make any use of him as such. Yea, unto many, the principal mysteries of the gospel are but mere notions and barren speculations; what it is to be practically influenced by them, and to live in the power of them, they know not. That there is a high priest, they believe, but what it is for them to have a high priest, they cannot understand. But this is that we are to look after, if we intend any benefit by it. And we may know whether we have a high priest or no, really and substantially, by the use which we make of him as such in all our approaches unto God. For he presides over the whole house of God, and all the sacred services thereof. None can come unto the Father but by him. Through him have we boldness, through him have we ability, through him have we access unto and acceptance with God. He presents both our persons and duties unto him. Without a daily improvement by faith of the office of Christ unto these ends, it cannot be said that we have a high priest.
