“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.” Deuteronomy 18:15
Moses tells Israel that a prophet is coming.
A prophet like him.
One who identifies with his people.
Who has compassion on them.
Who intercedes for them.
Who stands between them and God’s wrath and judgment.
Jesus Christ is that prophet,
One who speaks to God face to face,
Commissioned by God for a mission to deliver His people,
Who mediates a New Covenant,
A New Testament in his blood.
Moses further says we must listen to Him, to Jesus.
Listen when He speaks of the kingdom of God and how we enter.
Listen when He speaks of mercy – how much we need it, how we show it.
Listen when He speaks of healing and how it happens.
Listen when He speaks of being born again.
Take Moses’ advice.
Listen to that Prophet God raised up.
He has the words of life.
