Beloved, All the works of our redemption, and reconciliation, and salvation, do depend on Jesus Christ as invested with the threefold Office of Prophet, Priest, and King; his whole Mediatorship is contained in them, and so is all our comfort and hope; and therefore I will speak briefly unto every one of them.

1. Jesus Christ is a Prophet, and he is your Prophet. He is that Prophet whom 1God had promised to raise up, Acts 3. 22. And whom all are commanded to hear, verse 23. And this was he who was anointed by the Spirit of the Lord, to preach the Cospel to the poor, Luke 4 18. And this is he in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Col. 2. 3. who knows the Father, and by whom alone the knowledge of the Father is revealed, Matth 11. 27. who is in the bosom of the Father, and declares him unto us.
