Community Worship Night: Christ, Priest and Prophet (4/13)
Salem Covenant Church’s Friday Community Worship Night is back!
After a wonderfully enriching Lenten season and a thought-provoking Holy Week, we are back in Eastertide with table fellowship and worship on Friday nights.
Sermon: Christ: Priest and Prophet
Text: Deuteronomy 18.15-22
The season of Easter brings up some important issues for us as Christians. After the resurrection, the early Christians realized that somehow what had just happened was that God came to them, and God’s forgiveness was made real in the person of the resurrected Christ. In other words, atonement happened!
But how do we understand atonement? This week we looked at atonement in the role of priest and prophet in the Old Testament. We saw that the New Testament understood Jesus as priest and prophet, as the liturgical witness to God’s salvation, as the mediator of God’s salvation, and as advocate for us before God.
