Prophetic mission
Proclamation of the GOSPEL
By sharing the Word of God with others.
By witnessing through acts of love and service to others.
Church authoritative teachers: Pope, bishops, priests.
Their duty: to teach authoritatively the Word of God.
PROPHET is a mediator between God and men.
Jesus as prophet –the vocation of biblical prophet often embraces three typical tasks:
1. to proclaim the word of God with authority.
2. to accompany this word with signs and wonders (deeds)
3. to suffer a martyr’s fate, death. This is the pattern of Jesus’ ministry that we find in the gospel of mark. Jesus is “a prophet like any of the prophets”
