The Chi-Rho symbol represents the unifying belief, which all Christians have, that Jesus is the Messiah.
BIG IDEA:
The core of what unites us is our collective experience of Jesus Christ in His three-fold office.
The core of what unites us is our collective experience of Jesus Christ in His three-fold office.
The Chi Rho (also known as chrismon) is one of the earliest forms of the Christogram, formed by superimposing the first two (capital) letters—chi and rho (ΧΡ)—of the Greek ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos).
What is really amazing is that in the midst of all that expectation, the NT is unified in defining the Christ as a Savior, but who brings freedom and liberation from sin (not a foreign government) to all humanity (not just Jews). The Messiah is simultaneously, Prophet / Priest / King.
– Prophet = brings truth, points the way to God, spokesman for God
– Priest = he is the ultimate sacrifice for sin, mediates God’s grace and forgiveness
– King = rules over us as God’s representative (given that he himself is God in the flesh), but is also the one who brings the blessings of the Kingdom of God to us.

THE SO WHAT:
First, We Must Listen to His Authoritative Word.
Second, Our Hope Is In His Exclusive Salvation.
Third, We Are Subject to His Rightful Rule.
