The Prophet Jesus

Saturday · Anchor: Matt.21.11

From the sermon A Royal Prophet

From the sermon

And the crowd said, This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.

Scripture · Matt.21.11

And the crowds said, 'This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.'

Reflect and pray

The crowds identified Jesus as the prophet from Nazareth, and in this they spoke truly, yet incompletely. He is indeed the prophet foretold by Moses, but he is also more: the Son of David, the humble King, the forgiver of sins. It is possible to know about Jesus and still stop short of trusting him as Savior and Lord. Ask yourself whether you acknowledge him only as a teacher or prophet, or whether you bow to him as the royal prophet who alone can forgive.
