THE SUPREME PROPHET
 
Moses prophesied of “a prophet” (Acts 3:22) who would come. The “prophet” referred to here is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the greatest of all the prophets for He is the Omniscient God.
 
Moses-like Prophet: Thousands of years before the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ it was already prophesied that God would anoint a Prophet for His people. “And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him” (Deut 18:17-19).
 
Kingly Prophet: He is King who is powerful to judge those who remain unrepentant and unconverted in the last day. “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:46-48).
 
Greatest Prophet: He is the greatest of the prophets because He is the Son of God. He is the final and living revelation of God to man. Hebrews 1:1- 2a says, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son....”
 
Do you take heed to the prophecies of the Scriptures? Do you keep and obey God’s Word?
 
THOUGHT: Am I hearing and believing the prophecies of the Bible?

PRAYER: Father, grant me the heart to hear and heed Thy Word.
