Person And Work Of Christ

Continuing the witness of the Gospels to Christ's true humanity, Pastor Martin walks through evidence that Jesus possessed a true human body that hungered, thirsted, grew weary, slept, was strengthened, and ultimately could die. He then turns to the reality of a true human soul, showing it in genuine temptation in the wilderness and in a life of dependent prayer climaxing in Gethsemane. The sermon insists that without a real body and a real soul there is no real Savior, and that the person and work of Christ stand or fall together.

Pastor Martin transitions from the mystery of Christ's person to the majesty of His offices, introducing the threefold office of Prophet, Priest, and King. He shows that these offices are biblically rooted, that their success depends on the constitution of Christ's God-man person, that they are indivisible and must never be separated, and that they answer directly to the sinner's threefold need: ignorance, guilt, and rebellion.
