Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 65—especially explaining Christ's anointing as our Prophet, Priest, and King. Q65. What are they? The offices of a prophet, of a priest, and of a king. The lesson explains the three anointed offices of Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King, derived from the meaning of the title 'Christ'. It contrasts Jesus's perfect fulfillment of these roles with the incomplete types found in Moses, Aaron, and David. The text highlights how Jesus serves as the ultimate Prophet revealing God's word, the eternal Priest offering a final atoning sacrifice, and the Forever King from David's line. These offices were inaugurated, in His earthly ministry, at His baptism when the Holy Spirit descended upon Him. The central message affirms that Jesus alone fully embodies these roles to redeem His people.

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 63—especially explaining how all God-given sacrifices pointed sinners to believe in Christ. Q63. What did these sacrifices represent? Christ, the Lamb of God, Who was to die for sinners. The lesson explores the theological significance of Old Testament sacrifices as pointing to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It traces this theme from the first gospel promise in Genesis through Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, highlighting his faith that God would provide a substitute. The message emphasizes that salvation has always been only through faith in Christ, whether prospective or retrospective, as illustrated by the Passover and affirmed in Revelation. By examining these passages, the teaching reinforces that Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of all God-given sacrifices. This understanding assures believers that redemption is found exclusively through faith in Jesus.

In order to respond rightly to providence, believers must come, with humility and praise, to consider Whose work it is, and what He has already done, in accordance with His character.
