About this sermon

This sermon examines the theological foundations of Christ's role as mediator, specifically addressing how He was furnished for this office and how He executed it through humiliation and exaltation. Drawing from the Westminster Confession of Faith, the exposition highlights the hypostatic union, explaining that Christ's divine and human natures are inseparably joined, which qualifies Him to be a perfect high priest who sympathizes with human weakness yet remains without sin. The text details the specific aspects of Christ's humiliation, including His obedience to the law, His suffering, and His death, as well as His exaltation through resurrection, ascension, and session at the right hand of the Father. The presentation emphasizes that Christ willingly undertook this work in accordance with the eternal covenant of redemption, thereby securing the salvation of His people and serving as the ultimate guarantor of the new covenant.
