Christ and His Threefold Office

Jesus Christ is all we need for salvation— our Prophet, Priest, and King.

For those who love Christ, there is no more glorious subject than the work of Christ as our all-sufficient Mediator. Join Puritan author John Flavel as he recounts the loveliness of our Savior in His person and work on our behalf.

This treatment of the Mediator and His threefold office is extracted and abridged from Flavel’s classic The Fountain of Life.

Endorsement

“It’s difficult to find a more compelling, heart-searching, affection-producing, and biblically sound expositor of experiential Christianity than the seventeenth century English Puritan John Flavel. . . I cannot commend Flavel highly enough!”
—Brian H. Cosby, senior minister of Wayside Presbyterian Church, Signal Mountain, Tennessee
