Christ applies redemption as well cont
We have seen that as part of His Threefold Character, that as Priest, He has offered Himself as an offering for sin. Isa 53:10
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
2 Cor 5:21
21 For he hath made him to be sin[A sin offering] for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Now, as Prophet He makes known to those He died for their forgiveness, He publishes it.
One of things He was to do was to give Light to the gentiles. Lk 2:32
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
The word lighten here is the greek word apokalypsis:
a disclosure of truth, instruction
Its a communication of the Knowledge of God to the soul.
The Amplified bible reads :
32 A Light for [a]revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was before unknown] and [to bring] praise and honor and glory to Your people Israel.(A)
This was prophesied in the Prophet Isa Isa 42:6
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Isa 49:6
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
This applied also to the elect Jews as well, He made known to them, The True God.
Jn 17:1-3
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
As Prophet, He made Known the True God to all whom the Father hath given Him, of both jews and gentiles..
This was a result of His shedding of the blood of the New Covenant , it ensured a proper and Spiritual knowledge of God Heb 8:10-11
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
So As Prophet, He Reveals the True God to those He died for.
This revealing also denotes making Known to them The remission of their sins. Lk 1:77
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
The word knowledge here is to make known as in Matt 13:1151
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
As our Prophet, He makes Known unto us our Salvation in the remission of our sins that came through His shed blood Matt 26:28
28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
