Now That Christ is Risen

Deuteronomy 18: 19-20

 

Christ the Prophet yet sends forth his messengers and teaches this word in the hearts through them (2 Corinthians 5:20). All power belongs to the King who reigns supremely to deliver and protect and order his kingdom in righteousness.  All power belongs to the High Priest whose one offering has perfected forever them that are sanctified, who brings us to God, who purges our conscious from dead works to serve the living God.  All power belongs to the Prophet to teach effectually in the heart through his word (Matthew 28: 18; Colossians 2: 29; Ephesians 4: 15-16).  The Prophet, Priest and King declares to his insufficient, earthen messengers that all power is his, then says, "Go ye therefore" (Matthew 28: 19, 20.)  And Christ our Prophet, Priest and King says the cause of certain triumph is that he is with us always (Matthew 28: 19; 1 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 1:17; 2 Corinthians 4:7).

 

Christ the Prophet said that the work of God is to believe on Christ (John 6: 28-29; 3: 36).  The believer is not come to that fiery mountain that could be touched, but to Christ (Hebrews 2: 1-3; 12: 18-25).  "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven."
