Subject: Would Jesus be considered a prophet? |
Bible Note: Greetings Miller521, "This is that Moses who told the Israelites, 'God will send you a prophet like me from your own people.'" (Acts 7:37; see also Deut. 18:15, NIV) "You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him- you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it." (Acts 7:51-53, NIV) "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." (John 20:31) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16, KJV) Perhaps by reading the parable of the tenants (Luke 20:9-19) will help you understand the role of Jesus in relation to the prophets. Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
