Deuteronomy 18:15
“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”— Deuteronomy 18:1515The 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; (Deuteronomy 18:15).
CHRIST JESUS is the Prophet, who, like unto Moses, is the Deliverer and Leader of His people, freeing from Satan’s bondage and leading in triumph on to the rest that remains for the people of God. He who was with the Father from all eternity, became Man that He might qualify as the Mediator of our redemption. It was necessary that He partake of our nature apart from sin, that He might represent us before God and pay the penalty that we deserved. Now He is exalted as Prince and Saviour, and we are to heed His voice, following Him as we journey on to the Land of prose—to the inheritance laid up for us in heaven.
“Great Prophet of our God.
Our tongues shall bless Thy name,
Through whom the joyful news
Of free salvation came.
The joyful news of sins forgiven.
Of fears removed and peace with heaven.”
—I. Watts.
