1 | He was a prophet. Can we add to that? | Luke 24:19 | Aixen7z4 | 120561 | ||
Jesus was a prophet. Add to that … There is so much more to be added. As the woman at the well listened to Jesus, she said, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet” (John 4:19). And she was correct. Moses had revealed what the Lord had told him: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you” (Deuteronomy 18:17,18) . That prophecy could be fulfilled in no one but Jesus (Acts 3:22). But while he was like Moses in some ways, he was greater than Moses (Hebrews 3:3). John the Baptist was greater than Moses (Luke 7:28). And Jesus was greater than John (Mark 1:7). Jesus had said about John, that he was more than a prophet (Matthew 11:9). And if Jesus was greater than John, then he must also be more than a prophet. It was no mistake when the multitude said, “This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee” (Matthew 21:11). The two disciples were not wrong when they said concerning Jesus of Nazareth, that he was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people (Luke 24:19). And yet Jesus called them “fools”, because they had not believed all that the (other) prophets had written about him. And yet, the other prophets had not revealed all. They had not understood all. They were “searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow” (1 Peter 1:11). Now, we have the prophecies. We have also a more sure word of prophecy. We have the fulfillment in the life in the gospel accounts. We have further insights from the epistles, and we have the book of Revelation, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”. Jesus is a prophet. But we can add to that. |

'I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. Dt 18:18 "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak."I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me." John 12:49-50 See also John 8:28,38; 14:10 Blessings, mommapbs |

3 | What things? | Luke 24:19 | Aixen7z4 | 120599 | ||
I asked the man if he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said he believed Jesus was a prophet. Interesting that he quoted the Bible much more often than he ever did the Qur’an. He was aware that Moses had predicted the appearance of Jesus as a prophet. I wondered if he realized that Moses was also a priest and that Jesus was a priest. But of course, Jesus was greater than Moses in his priesthood also, having been made our Great High Priest (Hebrews 5:10;6:20, etc). And Jesus had a title never attributed to Moses: he is King. He is King of kings (Revelation 17:14;19:16). So there are those who say he is a prophet and that’s all. But the question he asked his disciples carries over to today. As we listen to the people and realize how limited their answers are, whom to we say that he is? As we talk about him and the things the Bible says about him, the question is: “What things?” |

4 | What things? | Luke 24:19 | EdB | 120602 | ||
Aixen7z4 John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. You should have asked you man if prophets lie, when he said, "no" Then ask him how he handles what Jesus said. This is the where all false religions fall apart most recognized Jesus as a prophet, a great man, and some even a god, but they also have to call Jesus a liar for Jesus said there was only one way to the Father it was Him. That eliminates their flasehoods. EdB |
