Portraits of the Messiah #3 - The Better Prophet

Moses faithfully leads Israel out of slavery and reaches the edge of the promised land, but his own disobedience keeps him from entering. God's judgement remains, yet His friendship and personal care continue as He shows Moses the land and personally buries him. Grace humbles people who know their sin and God's faithful love. Jesus is the greater prophet: unlike Moses, He dies for His people's sin, rises bodily, and enters God's kingdom to lead them home. Bible Reference: Deuteronomy 34 Preacher: KJ Tromp
