the person of Christ: Prophet by ric gustafson
Sometimes people think that prophets only predict future events. Some gave warnings of judgment. Others told insights concerning the will of God. Prophets told the people to turn away from sin and idolatry. A lot of the prophets were not received well and faced persecution and death.
Jesus's anointing gave him the authority of being a prophet. Jesus is God and those who saw and heard him beheld the Father. Jesus was fully God and fully man. He is the mediator between humanity and the divine. Jesus is our prophet calling us to repentance and the joy of salvation.
