Jesus is our Prophet
What does a prophet do?
A Prophet speaks on God’s behalf, calling people away from sin and toward a renewed relationship with God.
Well, let’s take a look at the examples from the Old Testament.
Old Testament prophets spoke on God’s behalf, calling people away from their idolatry and unfaithfulness and toward a renewed covenant relationship with God.
Some of the greatest prophets performed Miracles.
Elijah and Elisha performed miracles.
Elijah performed seven recorded miracles.
Elisha, who had asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, performed fourteen miracles of healing and restoration (one even after he was dead, when his bones brought a man back to life).
Moses is often classified as the first prophet in Israel.
He’s the one who received the word from God and gave it to the Israelites.
He’s the one who ground down the golden calf and fed it to the Israelites.
He crafted the serpent on the stick so that those who believe might have a way of living when they were afflicted by serpents.
He performed miracles through the leading of the Lord- the parting of the dead sea, the water from the rock.
If there ever were a prophet, Moses would be one of them.
And yet, Moses is not the ultimate prophet.
Moses himself prophesied of this fact:
It is to him you shall listen.
There was a greater prophet, one even greater and more foundational than Moses, who would speak God’s word to his people so that they might be led away from sin and into the way of life.
Jesus is the Prophet
A. He is the Word from God, which is life.
B. Jesus is the Truth of God
C. Jesus Performed Miracles
In sum, the gospels record 37 miracles of Jesus.
Gospel of John records seven such miracles, showing that he indeed was a prophet.
We know that he did many more miracles than seven, but John the author includes the seven to highlight the point that Jesus is a prophet.
And note: all of these “signs” are regarding healing and restoration.
You see him compared to Elijah and to Moses

Jesus’s Prophetic Ministry is Still Going
He commissions his church to speak on his behalf to the world
Part of our church ministry, forming a statement of belief.
The Son
...
He is our Prophet, Priest, and King.
As our Prophet, he is the Truth and Word from God who calls sinners to repentance, proclaims forgiveness and reconciliation, and announces the coming day of judgment.
...
In the next few weeks we’ll review the rest of our statement.
But for now, it is important to clarify the Truth about the Son of God as a prophet because it has important implications for our lives.
1. Are you responding to Jesus’ prophetic word?
Are you living in sin?
Repent
Are you trapped by the guilt of your sin? Christ has forgiven.
Are you aware of the judgment day?
There is a coming day of judgment.
This one fact should change all of our behavior.
If you are hearing his call and responding to Jesus’ prophetic word, then
2. Are you helping others hear his call?
That was to call people to repentance from sin and toward a renewed relationship with God, which we know is only obtainable through the blood of Jesus Christ.
This is not only a warning for the unbelievers, but for those who do believe.
Every word which flows from our mouth will have weight before the Lord.
We are to be stewards of every breath we are given.
So are you helping others be prepared for the day of judgment?
The Bible tells us this is not only for their joy, but for ours also
