We Call Him Messiah

1. Messiah's Position
2. Messiah's Work
3. Messiah's Honor

The sermon centers on the profound significance of Jesus as the Christ—the Anointed One—emphasizing His threefold office as Prophet, Priest, and King, which fulfills the Old Testament hope of a divine deliverer. Drawing from John 1 and the Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 12, it explains that Christ is not a personal name but a title. Christ is the divine designation rooted in the anointing ceremony of the Old Testament, symbolizing His appointment by God to redeem His people. The sermon underscores that Christ's authority and saving work—revealing God's will, offering Himself as sacrifice, and reigning over all—are not merely historical but present realities. Believers can trust Him completely for salvation in every aspect of life. It calls the church to honor Christ not only through personal faith but also by respecting and upholding His appointed servants, recognizing that true Christian identity is found not in worldly achievements but in union with Christ, who is the source of all spiritual life and strength.
