“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.” Deuteronomy 18:18
The relationship between Moses and Jesus Christ is evidenced in several places and ways throughout the Scriptures.
In Deuteronomy 18:18, God said to Moses, “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.”
Over a millennium later, in Acts 3:17-22, Peter quoted Deuteronomy 18:18 and applied its fulfillment to Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the relationship in this instance includes the following:
- Jesus’ eventual coming was promised to Moses
- Jesus and Moses both occupied the office of prophet
- Both Jesus and Moses were Hebrews
- Both Jesus and Moses spoke the words given to them by the Father
It’s incredible to think that this flawed man’s life would reflect so many aspects of Jesus and His ministry. Come back tomorrow where we discuss how Jesus is worthy of even more honor and glory than Moses.
Read and compare Deuteronomy 18:18 and Acts 3:17-22 and make note of anything that stands out to you about those two Scriptures.
