Most Beloved Son of God, Your Father had this to say about You … “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: You are a Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” You are superior to the priests of old and are superior to any other priest. In the same way that the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year to seek forgiveness for the sins of the people, You are my Mediator with the Father. You intercede on my behalf assuring me of forgiveness and my eternal salvation. Unlike the High Priests of old who could only approach the throne of God once a year, You are always available to me and intercede on my behalf. Your being human allows You to experience the full range of temptations that I go through. Therefore, I remain comforted in knowing You understand what I am going through. You encourage me to come to You, not only as my King, but as my Friend and Counselor.
From the very beginning of the Word, a message was given that pointed to Your role as a Prophet when it stated … “The Lord thy God shall rise up to thee a Prophet liken unto me; to Him you should hearken.” You confirmed these words when You said … “My teaching is not my own. It comes from Him who sent me. He who speaks his own does so for the honor of himself, but He who works for the honor of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about Him.” And again, You said … “I do not speak on my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that His commands lead to eternal life, so what I say is just what the Father has told Me to say.” Your words fulfill the scriptures in Deuteronomy and fulfill the definition of a Prophet as the one who is divinely inspired to communicate God’s will to His People.
The Psalmist proclaimed … “Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty …” Your kingly power was displayed through Your many miracles, Your death, burial, and resurrection and Your power over nature, the body and sin. In another place Your Word declares … “The Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to His people and blesses them with peace.” Your Word confirms that You have endued me with power (through the Holy Spirit) and fulfills Your promise (when You left the earth) to leave me a peace that surpasses my understanding. The same power that raised You from the dead, is the same power that is available to me to deal with my daily problems. The power that brought about creation and raised men from the dead can only reside in someone who is King of All. As my Priest, Prophet and King I remain loyal to You forever. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AM EN!!
Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.
