Dissertation
The sacerdotal office of Christ in our worship experience
1999
Overview
What is Christian worship all about? There are many divergent views toward this essential experience in Christian life. To many, worship is a time of praise and singing. To some, it is a message from the pulpit or it belongs to the legacy of a preacher. To many still, worship is a time for signs and wonders. Nevertheless, for me, worship is a time of meeting the risen Christ, a miracle on the road to Damascus. It is an opportunity and experience of salvation. All of these can become possible, as I firmly believe, only through the sacerdotal office of Christ for our sake. The study of this topic shall be done systematically according to the following: Chapter 1 shall look into statements and facts from Scriptures of Christ's call and His role as our High Priest, His taking our place for the sake of our eternal destiny, and Christ's decisive victory to bring about the once-and-for-all assurance for all who come to believe and trust in Him and His work. Chapter 2 will focus on the crucial factors of Christ's sacerdotal work to ensure our proper understanding of God's covenant made with His people, and the misuse of the law in our own hands as reflected in the history of His chosen people. The crucial importance of following the Scriptures for the proper use of the law in Christian life shall also be stressed in this chapter. Chapter 3 shall be a reflection on the blessings and promise of God made to those who come to rely on Christ's sacerdotal work. Such a turning point in life can be best described as an act of a human being, and yet it remains a work of God through the operation of the Holy Spirit. Chapter 4 is a theological research into characteristics of Christ's priestly office and work as compared to that of the Levitical order and the Melchizedek tradition presented by the author of the Epistle of Hebrews. Chapter 5 shall deal with the meaning and implication of Christ's sacerdotal work in relation to worship with the hope of deepening our earnest desire to be more intimately involved in the missiological task of reaching out with the saving message of Jesus Christ even in our worship time experience. Chapter 6 is a reflection on the faith and practice of the Christian Church (Disciple of Christ) in worship, its understanding of the person and works of Christ in terms of the means of grace in worship. Some changing trends in worship will also be included.
