Subject: Did Jesus clean the temple twice |
Bible Note: Hello stj, Yes, our Lord was a prophet. It surprising that you are not willing to accept biblical evidence of this. How about Jesus Himself referring to Himself as a prophet. Would you accept that friend? Luke 13:31-33 (ESV) 13:31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." 32 And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. 33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.' And what will you pass of as the meaning behind our Lord's words in Luke 4:24? I particularly like how Wayne Grudem put it. PROPHET: One of the offices fulfilled by Christ, the office by which he most fully reveals God to us and speaks to us the words of God. (29 A) (from Systematic Theology, Copyright © 1994 by Wayne Grudem. All rights reserved.) I particularly appreciate how detailed and specific many of His prophecies were such as His predicting His betrayal by Judas, that of Peter's denying Him, His own death and resurrection, the Last Days, etc., ect., so on and so forth. WOW!! stj, now THAT is really something. And what a prophet He was don't you agree. God bless, Jeff |
