Rev. David Miller preached a powerful message on Christ and the Church from Matthew 16:13-18 this past Thursday at Southern Seminary Chapel. Here’s a powerful quote from the “country minister at-large”:
He, the one who founded the church is omnipresent and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him. He is omniscient and the haughty and high minded cannot comprehend him. He is ominipotent and the host of hell cannot conquer him. He is the Son of the Living God. He’s the one who founded the Church. [...]
In his relationship to the church, Jesus is prophet, priest and potentate:
Let me tell you that as a prophet He has convictions; as a priest He has credentials; as a potentate He has a crown.
Let me tell you that as a prophet He is infallible; as a priest is impeccable; as a potentate He is incomparable. He has the perception of a prophet; He has the perfections of a priest; and He has the prerogatives of a potentate.
As a prophet he is wise; as a priest he is worthy; and as a potentate He is worshiped.
