SPP:'Q3

It may not be necessary. Sometimes the character is designed to tell us about Christ. Sometimes they describe a role as prophet, judge, priest or king.

```wikitext Clarification on Character Representation:

Not every character must directly represent Christ. Their design and role in the narrative guide their symbolic function.

Character Roles in SP

• Some characters are intended to show us **Christ Himself**
• Others represent **offices** or **functions** that tell us about Him:

 * Prophet – Reveals truth / doctrine
 * Judge – Brings reproof / division / justice
 * Priest – Brings reconciliation / correction
 * King – Exercises authority / training in righteousness

SP Key Principle

> Characters are not always literal stand-ins for Christ. Some portray His work or role as seen through prophetic office or covenant structure. ```

This is false "Not every character must directly represent Christ." Every male still must represent Christ, but perhaps need not identify if before or after the cross. Christ fulfills every role.

```wikitext Correction:

Every male still represents Christ in some way.

Clarified Role of Characters

• All male figures represent **Christ**—this is never optional.
• However, it may not always be necessary to identify whether they represent Christ **before** or **after** the cross.
• Christ fulfills **every role**—prophet, judge, priest, and king.

 * These roles may be highlighted through the actions or titles of different characters.

SP Key Principle

> Every man represents Christ. His roles may vary by context, but all are part of the same Son. The distinction is not between who is Christ and who is not, but what aspect or role of Christ is being shown. ```
