Listening to Jesus

Original Comment:Deuteronomy 18:15
“The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.”
In all our sickly-sweet adoration of Jesus “my friend and my redeemer” we must never forget that this man was a Jewish rabbi who came to fulfil the prophesies of the Jewish scripture – our “Old Testament”. This saying seems to point directly to the book of Deuteronomy and we should look there if we are to understand God’s purpose in sending Jesus to us.
