1. Knowing Jesus as King, Priest & Prophet
Jesus has been anointed by God to serve in the three high offices: King, Priest and Prophet. It is critical that Christians understand His functions in these exalted positions.
Matthew 22 * Psalm 110

2. Jesus the King Psalm 110:1-2
David’s “Lord” would be exalted by the LORD
David’s descendent would be the Messiah (Matthew 12:23; 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 11:1-2; Psalm 89)
The New Testament uses Psalm 110 to describe Jesus’ exalted position
Jesus is at God’s right hand (Acts 2:27-35)
He is superior to angels (Hebrews 1:13)
He is over all things (1 Cor. 15:27-28)

3. Jesus the Priest Psalm 110:5
Jesus was selected by God (Heb. 5:4-10)
He has entered God’s presence for us (Hebrews 6:19-20)
His priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-25)
Combines offices of priest and king
A continual priesthood
Superior to the Levitical priesthood

4. Jesus the Prophet Deuteronomy 18:18-19
The Jews were expecting “the Prophet” (Mark 6:15; John 6:14)
Jesus is that Prophet (Acts 3:22-23)
God speaks in and through Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2; John 12:49-50; 1:1, 14, 18)
