Prophet, Priest, King, God
Week 1

Prophets speak for God.

‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬‬
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬‬
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭49‬‬
For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭8‬‬
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬‬
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Prophets tell of future events.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭21‬‬
From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

Matthew 27-28; Mark 15-16; Luke 22-24; John 18-20

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬‬
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭33‬‬
In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

Prophets’ lives and ministries were followed by healings and miracles.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭15‬‬
When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭40‬-‭45‬‬

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭42‬-‭48‬‬

‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭21‬‬
When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

What it means:

Jesus understood He was a prophet.

‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬‬
Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭57‬‬
And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

Jesus’ words point to God and lead to life!

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭11‬‬
The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬‬
They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭9‬‬
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
