Christ in the Old Testament
Deuteronomy 18:15 (ESV) — “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen.”
Meditation
Moses, the great prophet of Israel, foretold that God would one day raise up another Prophet like him, yet greater. Moses was a deliverer, intercessor, and lawgiver, standing between God and His people. But Christ is the true and final Prophet, who not only speaks the Word of God but is Himself the Word made flesh. Where Moses mediated the covenant written on stone, Christ mediates the new covenant written on hearts by His Spirit. Where Moses interceded for Israel in their rebellion, Christ intercedes eternally for His people at the right hand of the Father. The call, “to him you shall listen,” echoes at the Transfiguration when the Father declares, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” In Christ, the promised Prophet has come, not only to reveal God’s will but to accomplish it fully, bringing salvation through His death and resurrection. To turn from Him is to turn from life itself; to hear Him is to receive forgiveness, truth, and everlasting hope.
