Bible Question (short): What things? |
Question (full): 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?” |
