Jesus is:

• The Ascended King who established a kingdom that cannot be shaken
• The New Covenant mediator who gathered a people who will never turn away
• The Priest who always lives to make intercession
• The Good Shepherd who protects his flock
• The Groom who nourishes and washes his Bride, preparing her for presentation
• The Master of the field who ensures his planted seed will not be uprooted
• The Architect who builds a new living temple that will never be destroyed
• The Sower who plants a durable seed for perpetual growth until a giant tree gives shade
• The Prophet who assured his word will be fulfilled, never invalidated or outlived
• The Conquerer who subjects all things under his feet
• The Sender who gives the Holy Spirit, to be with us until he returns
• The Friend who does not leave us as orphans

This Jesus is unmatched. As he leavens measures of flour until it is fully leavened (Matthew 13:33), the church persists in giving God glory in Christ “throughout all generations” (Ephesians 2:21).
