Listen to Him

Deuteronomy 16-18; Psalms 38; Galatians 2 

“’The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.’”

Deuteronomy 18:15

The Lord our God has raised up a prophet greater than Moses and his name is Jesus! 

Are we listening to him?

Jesus is more than a prophet. He declared that he was the Messiah and then, in the power of the Holy Spirit, he demonstrated this by healing, freeing, and saving those he met. God spoke audibly to Jesus at his baptism in the Jordan and declared him to be his Son. God repeated that statement on the Mount of Transfiguration when he said, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” (Mark 9:7)

Are we listening to Jesus?

He said that his sheep would know his voice, the voice of our good Shepherd. Jesus said he had other sheep who were not of the Jewish sheep pen, and they, too, would listen to his voice (John 10:16).

Are we following the voice of our Shepherd, Prophet, Messiah, and risen King?

He is speaking; are we listening?

“Lord Jesus, open my ears to hear and obey your voice this day, for your glory.”
