Jesus was sent from heaven by the Father to repre-sent God and make Him known, and the work He was given to do was to prepare the building of the church, the house of God. The apostle is the master builder (1Cor.3:10). It is the ap-ostolic ministry that works to raise up the other ministries and energise them to do the work of the ministry “perfecting the saints and building up the body of Christ, until we all come … to a perfect man” Eph.4:12-13. Both the ministry of Apostle and the ministry of High Priest were completed in the earth by Jesus. This was fulfilling God’s plan. In John 19:28-30 Jesus “knowing that all things were now accomplished” declared “It is finished”, and then He died. What was finished? Jesus had completed the work of redemption as High Priest by offering Himself on the cross.
