The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18 pointed to Jesus being a prophet like unto Moses, but we don’t often think of Jesus as being a prophet – let alone a better prophet than Moses. Why is Jesus, as a prophet, important to us?
God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive – a little like “parlor tricks.” Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?
Moses had it all – power, prestige, and position. He was the son of Pharaoh’s daughter and was destined to be a man of prominence. But then he said no to all that. Why did he do that, and what can that mean to us?
Why did Jesus lead Peter, James, and John up on the mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?
