Prophet, Priest, King

In my latest "Scripture of The Day" I said that Jesus is not a prophet. I now appreciate this was mistaken and have corrected what I said.

I meant to say that Jesus is not exclusively a prophet - as he holds the office of prophet, priest and king! However, he has a different job to do than a person who is exclusively a prophet: he is humankind's saviour!

And, of course, a member of the Godhead.

This wikipedia page explains what is called Christ's "threefold office" and how it can be said that Jesus Christ is a prophet, a priest, and a king
