The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken (Deut. 18:15).
In these inspired words Moses, the servant of God, plainly and specifically prophesied of the Messiah to come. And God promised, "I...will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him" (verse 18).
In fulfillment of this prophecy Jesus Christ came into this world as the Son of God, and took to Himself the divine name "I AM," for which attempts were made to stone Him.
His words were the words of God, which no one can neglect except at their own peril. He declared, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). The Temple officers who heard Him said, "Never man spake like this man" (John 7:46). "And all...wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth" (Luke 4:22). He Himself said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the words that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). He declared that the heavenly Father had given Him a commandment, what He should say and what He should speak (verse 49). Jesus came in fulfillment of the prophecy made through Moses. He spoke the words of God. If we reject Him, we reject God Himself as well as His Son.
Solomon B. Freehof, distinguished Jewish preacher, said: "The consciousness of the presence of God has come to millions of men and women through Jesus. No Muslim ever sings, 'Muhammad, lover of my soul,' nor does any Jew say of Moses, the teacher, 'I need thee every hour.' He [Jesus] brought God near to men through His presence. He made the Divine personal for myriads of worshippers."
MEDITATION PRAYER: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth" (Ps. 83:18).
