Day 5
Deuteronomy 18:15-19 speaks of the promise that was to come. God promised that He would raise up a prophet that would come from among his own brothers. God also said that He would place His words in his mouth and that he would teach them all that God had commanded. This prophet to come is Jesus...He was born among His brothers (the Israelites) and He taught as no other man (He spoke as one who had authority).
Moses reminds his fellow Israelites (and us) that we are all "to listen to him". What a thought for this Christmas...that the reason Jesus came to earth was for us to listen to him. Not to question or critique or argue with what He said, but to listen to and to obey what Jesus taught us.
May we be good listeners this year.
