In Israel there were three different roles people were anointed to. Often with the use of oil, they were: prophet, priest and king. 

1. The prophet, who spoke God’s words to the people. 

2. The priest represented God before the people and the people before God. 

3. The King, who ruled over the people as God’s representative. 

Historically theologians have understood that Jesus the Messiah, the Christ, the ‘anointed’ one, perfectly fulfils each of these three functions. AND it has been customary to categorise the ‘work’ of Christ (i.e. what he does) into these three categories or ‘offices’. If you read John Calvin’s institutes, you will find a great deal of attention has been devoted to them.

This week we tackle the office of prophet, consider how Jesus IS the anointed prophet of God and what that means for the church, the body of Christ, today.
