A PROPHET / ACTS 3:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Acts 3:22

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

A PROPHET / ACTS 3:22

Moses’ prediction in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that “the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me” was a prophecy about Jesus Christ. Jesus was like Moses in the following ways”

  1. Moses was anointed (commissioned, empowered) by the Spirit (Numbers 11:17); the Spirit of the Lord was on Jesus to preach the good news of forgiveness and new life (Luke 4:18-19).
  2. God used Moses to bring the old covenant (God’s “life agreement” with the Israelites based on His laws and promises to them and on their faithfulness and obedience to Him); Jesus brought in the new covenant (God’s plan of spiritual salvation and a renewed relationship with people through the life and sacrifice of Jesus). 
  3. Moses led Israel out of Egypt and established their covenant relationship with God; Christ liberated His people from spiritual slavery to sin and Satan and established for them a new and personal relationship with God.
  4. Moses in the Old Testament laws referred to the sacrifice of a lamb to cover offenses toward God and preserve His people’s relationship with Him; Christ Himself became the Lamb of God who gave His own life as a sacrifice to pay the penalty for sin and to provide spiritual salvation to all who accept Him.
  5. Moses faithfully pointed to God’s law and the obligation of God’s people to obey its commands in order to receive God’s blessings; Christ pointed to Himself and the Holy Spirit as God’s way of fulfilling His will and receiving God’s blessing and eternal life.
