 MARCH 2 Priest, Prophet, and King |
PRAYER. Almighty Father, help me to be attentive to the voice of Christ my Teacher and to submit myself to His tender rule. |
|
CHRIST is a Prophet, as revealing the
will of God and the Gospel of Grace. So
also were the Apostles; "He that hears
you, hears Me" (Lk 10: 16).
Christ is a Priest, as forgiving sin, and imparting other needful divine gifts. The Apostles, too, had this power; "Whose sins you remit, they are remitted" (Jn 20:23). Christ is a King, as ruling the Church, and the Apostles rule it in His stead. "I appoint to you a Kingdom, as My Father has appointed to Me" (Lk 21:29). |
