Bible Question: According to Deut18:15,18. How does Jesus possess the characteristics of Moses? How is he like him? |
Bible Answer: There is another similarity. Moses was used by God to introduce a covenant with His people. Jesus was used by God for the same purpose, though the new covenant is far superior, and everlasting. Jeremiah 31:31-32 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. |
