JESUS … A PROPHET / MARK 6:4

(KJV) Mark 6:4

But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

Jesus is portrayed in the Gospels as a prophet (Mark 6:4, 15; Matthew 21:11; Luke 4:24; Acts 3:20-23) in a way that was consistent with the mission and message of God’s prophets throughout the Old Testament. The following characteristics identify Jesus as a prophet:

1. He was a man filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit and full of the knowledge of God’s Word (Matthew 21:42; 22:29; Luke 4:1, 18; 24:27; John 3:34).
2. His life was characterized by intimate spiritual unity and relationship with God, His Father (Luke 5:16).
3. He gave prophetic predictions, some of which have already taken place and others which pertain to the end times yet to come (Matthew 24; Luke 19:43-44).
4. He performed symbolic actions that represented spiritual truths and expressed a sincere passion for God’s honor (Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17). 
5. He exposed the shallow and unfaithful hearts of the religious leaders and criticized the way they followed their own traditions rather than God’s Word (Mark 7:7-9, 13).
6. He shared God’s sorrow and suffering over the spiritually lost condition of those who refused to turn from their own ways and follow God (Luke 13:34; 19:41).
7. He focused on the moral and ethical principles of God’s Word (holiness, justice, righteousness, love, mercy) in contrast to relying on religious ceremonies to keep people in a right relationship with God (Mark 12:38-40; Matthew 23:1-36).
8. He proclaimed the supreme and final reign and judgment of God (Matthew 11:22, 24; 10:15; Luke 10:12, 14). 
9. He called people to repentance – to change their attitude toward God, admit their sin, turn from their own way and begin following God and His purposes (Mark 6:12; Matthew 4:17).
