Prophet, Priest and King

Tomorrow night we will be looking at Hebrews 1:1-4 and we will discuss how Jesus is spoken of as the fulfilment of the Old Testament Prophet, Priest and King. All were types of the coming Messiah. All the true prophets of God spoke God's Word to the people in order to reveal God's will and direction. The priests offered the blood sacrifices that were given for the atonement of the peoples sins. Only by the shedding of blood could there be atonement. The kings were those who ruled over the people in the earthly realm. Jesus perfectly fulfilled all these offices in every detail. The writer of Hebrews brings this out in 3 verses and summerizes what he will be teaching in the rest of the letter.
