Next Steps: 1689 Chapter 8, Part 4

Look at paragraph 10 and explain in your own words why we need Jesus’ threefold office of prophet, priest and king. Praise him for the truths you discover!

For some inspiration, Herman Bavinck said: 

He had to be a prophet to know and to disclose the truth of God; a priest, to devote himself to God and, in our place, to offer himself up to God; a king, to govern and protect us according to God’s will. To teach, to reconcile, and to lead; to instruct, to acquire, and to apply salvation; wisdom, righteousness, and redemption; truth, love, and power—all three are essential to the completeness of our salvation.
