8. 基督的三重職能
祭司 先知 君王
來 九:11–15 申 十八:14–20 詩 二:4–12
詩 一百一十
耶和華對我主說：「你坐在我的右邊，等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。」
耶和華必使你從錫安伸出你能力的權杖；你務要在仇敵中掌權。
你在聖山上掌權的日子，你的子民必甘心跟隨；
從晨曦初現，你就有清晨的甘露。
耶和華起了誓，絕不改變：「你是照著麥基洗德的體系永遠為祭司。」
詩 一百一十 : 1—4

9. Q.23: What offices doth Christ execute as our Redeemer?
Christ, as our Redeemer, executeth the offices of a prophet, of a
priest, and of a king, both in his estate of humiliation and exaltation.
Q.24: How doth Christ execute the office of a prophet?
Christ executeth the office of a prophet, in revealing to us, by his
word and Spirit, the will of God for our salvation.
Q.25: How doth Christ execute the office of a priest?
Christ executeth the office of a priest, in his once offering up of
himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us to God,
and in making continual intercession for us.
Q.26: How doth Christ execute the office of a king?
Christ executeth the office of a king, in subduing us to himself, in
ruling and defending us, and in restraining and conquering all his
and our enemies.
基督的三重職能
Westminster Shorter Catechism (1646-1647)

10. 教會的三重職能
What do prophets do? Their work is discerning,
communicating, exposing, seeing that justice is
done, revealing outcomes - the very thing God’s
people can do in corporations and homes.
What do priests do? Their work is bridge
building, mediating, expressing meaning, evoking
faith blessing bringing grace — again what the
whole of God’s people is able to do in the world.
What do kings do? King work is ruling,
organising, planning, providing, nurturing,
integrating, settling arguments, solving problems,
co-ordinating, expediting, consummating — again
ways that God’s people serve in so-called secular
occupations, in church and in the home.

教會的先知角色

13. “It would be better to teach a few men to call upon the name of the Lord for
themselves than to fill a church with people who have given up idolatry,
slavishly and intelligently, and have acquired a habit of thinking that it is the
duty of converts to sit and be taught and to hear prayers read for them in the
church by a paid mission agent.”
— Roland Allen (Missiologist)
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day — American
Federal Holiday, Third Monday of January
Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
Washington D.C. (Opening Day 2011)
If theology is a disciplined endeavor to
interpret the meaning of the gospel for the
present time, and if the gospel is God’s
liberation of the poor from bondage, then I
would claim that no one has articulated the
Christian message of freedom more
effectively, prophetically, and creatively in
America than Martin Luther King, Jr..

(Liberation theologian)
