Flavel explores the glory of Christ becoming a man тАЬto qualify and prepare Him for a full discharge of His mediatorship, in the office of our Prophet, Priest, and King.тАЭ┬а
тАЬSalvation,тАЭ says Flavel, тАЬis 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.тАЭ┬а
┬а
FlavelтАЩs 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 тАЬthe transcendent excellency of Jesus Christ.тАЭ┬а
┬а
This treatment of the Mediator and His threefold office is extracted and abridged from FlavelтАЩs classic, The Fountain of Life.
