Author: John Flavel

Condition: New

Flavel explores the glory of Christ becoming a man 'to qualify and prepare Him for a full discharge of His mediatorship, in the office of our Prophet, Priest, and King.''Salvation,' says Flavel, 'is revealed by Christ as a Prophet, procured by Him as a Priest, applied by Him as a King. In vain it is revealed, if not purchased; in vain revealed and purchased, if not applied.'Flavel's treatment of the subject is polemical when necessary and painstakingly detailed when he believes the truth is at stake. It is an act of adoration, of meditations upon 'the transcendent excellency of Jesus Christ.'Table of Contents:The Excellence of the SubjectChrist's Essential GloryThe Covenant of RedemptionGod's Admirable LoveChrist's Wonderful PersonThe Authority of the MediatorThe Consecration of the MediatorThe Nature of Christ's MediationThe First Branch of Christ's Prophetical Office: The Revelation of God's WillThe Second Branch of Christ's Prophetical Office: The Illumination of Man's UnderstandingThe Nature and Necessity of Christ's PriesthoodThe First Act of Christ's Priestly Office: OblationThe Second Act of Christ's Priestly Office: IntercessionThe First Effect of Christ's Priesthood: A Full SatisfactionThe Second Effect of Christ's Priesthood: A Blessed InheritanceThe Kingly Office of Christ: Executed Spiritually upon the RedeemedThe Kingly Office of Christ: Executed Providentially for the Redeemed
