Jesus as Prophet

 (ID: 2483)

In His time on earth, Jesus made striking claims about who He was and the Scriptures He came to fulfill. With courage, clarity, and compassion, Jesus proclaimed He was the awaited Prophet. Christ calls His people to the same ministry of proclamation today, Alistair Begg emphasizes. By following Jesus’ example, we can seize the opportunity to boldly profess the Gospel to the honest seekers around us.


The Transfiguration

28dNow about eight days after these sayings he took with him ePeter and John and James and fwent up on the mountain to pray. 29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was galtered, and hhis clothing became dazzling white. 30And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure,2 which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32Now Peter and those who were with him iwere heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake jthey saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three ktents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—lnot knowing what he said. 34As he was saying these things, ma cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35And ma voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, nmy Chosen One;3 olisten to him!” 36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. pAnd they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
