Prophet, Priest, and King

My pastor gave a sermon recently which gave some very simple and useful descriptions of these three offices that we serve as Christians. I just thought I'd share those with others on my blog.

Prophet: A man who stands between God and the people and gives God's words to the people. This could be giving God's word through the Bible or revelation.

Priest: A man who stands between God and the people and speaks on behalf of the people. This could be through intercessory prayer for others.

King: A man who rules over others with authority. This could be in a number of contexts including authority over their family or work or leadership in thier church or community.
