Scripture Completed

Pastor Martin traces Christ's prophetic function across four periods of redemptive history: preparation (theophanies, the Angel of Jehovah, and the Spirit of Christ in the Old Testament prophets, 1 Peter 1:10-11, 3:18-20), manifestation (the incarnation, John's testimony, the Mount of Transfiguration, and Christ's own authoritative preaching), explanation (the apostolic writings as the completion of Christ's teaching through the Spirit), and expansion/culmination (the preserved Scriptures and the standing office of pastor-teacher in the church).
