Moses tells the people to anticipate a prophet that God will raise up. What is the significance of these 3 distinctions, that Moses says will describe God’s prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15)?
That he will be:

  • for God’s people
  • from among God’s people
  • like Moses

 

How does the life and ministry of Moses serve to anticipate and point forward to the life and ministry of Jesus?

 

According to Deuteronomy 18:16 (which is describing the events from Exodus 20:18-21), what did Moses do for the community of Israel at Horeb (Sinai)? How does Jesus’s ministry serve as a fulfillment of this?

 

How, according to Deuteronomy 18:18, does Jesus serve as the ultimate revelation of God, and the final word on who God is?

 

Deuteronomy 18:19 teaches that everyone will be judged on the basis of how they respond to God’s prophet. What is the proper response to Jesus’s person and work? And what does God mean when He says that He will hold people responsible if they don’t listen to Him?

 

In what ways could you be growing to respond more appropriately to the person and work of Jesus? How can you be actively working to listen to Jesus more intently, and to obey Him more faithfully?
