Good Friday

The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Christ is not only our Prophet; He is also the Fulfillment of the Priesthood. He is our High Priest who offered up the perfect sacrifice. As the Priest, Jesus sacrificed His own sinless self on behalf of the whole world. This perfect sacrifice is sufficient to cover the sins of all. Not only that, but Jesus was also the True Temple, the One in whom God “tabernacled among us.” (John 2:21 & 1:14)

In the Cross a profound transformation occurred in all reality, its effect is eternal. The cross not only reaches to the future but also back through time so He is the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” The curse on Creation is lifted as Christ becomes accursed.” In our union with Christ, our sins are transferred to Him and destroyed in the Cross; His obedience is imputed to those who receive it through faith.
