Introduction
Big Idea: Jesus is the true and better Moses who does not merely speak the Word of God as a faithful prophet, but is the Word made flesh, the faithful Son of God.
1. What the Prophet Is Not [Deut. 18:9–14, 20–22]
- Like the People of Canaan [Deut. 18:9–14]
- One Who Presumes [Deut. 18:20–22]
- Does he speak in the name of the Lord or the name of another god?
- Does what he predicts actually come to pass?
2. Who the Prophet Is [Deut. 18:15–19]
- Someone We Need [Deut. 18:15–17]
- To Hear from God [Deut. 5:22–28]
- To Draw Near to God [Deut. 5:1–5]
- Someone Like Moses [Deut. 18:18–19; Num. 12:5–8; Josh. 1:1–2; 24:9–12, 29]
- The Answer of Islam [Isa. 55:11]
- The Answer of Judaism [Jn. 1:21; 7:40–41]
- The Answer of Christianity [Col. 2:16–17; Jn. 1:1–18; 14:6; 2 Cor. 3; Isa. 53; Heb. 3:1–6; Mt. 17:1–7; Acts 3:22–23]
