The Threefold Office of Christ

Dustin Benge

In this episode, we explore the rich theology of Thomas Boston, a faithful Scottish Puritan minister, as he expounds on the threefold office of Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King. Christ is the ultimate teacher, making known the will of God. He is the perfect High Priest, who atones for sin and intercedes for His people. He is the sovereign King, ruling and defending His church. Boston’s insights remind us that Christ is not only our Savior but also our guide, advocate, and ruler.
