Jesus Messiah: More than Moses, the Prophet-King


Listen Later

John records the awe-inspiring account of Jesus walking on water, a pivotal moment in his Gospel. This event, coupled with Jesus’ miraculous feeding of the 5,000, parallels Israel’s Red Sea-crossing and their reliance on manna during Moses’ time. John juxtaposes Jesus and Moses, underscoring Jesus’ claim that ‘Moses wrote about me.’Jesus’ depiction as a “Mosaic Messiah” (not a “Davidic Messiah”) emphasizes his role as the long-awaited Prophet promised by Moses &the Prophet-King revered in Jewish tradition. Jesus’ own sea-crossing, which eclipses Moses’ Red Sea-crossing, is a theophany—a powerful manifestation of God—with Jesus declaring “I AM,” adopting God’s own self-designation. Jewish tradition exalted Moses as a prophet, king, even as ‘god,’translated to heaven & enthroned. Yet Jesus, the incarnate God, fulfills & supersedes Moses. In the radiant revelation of God in Christ, all previous figures fade into mere shadows; none compares to Jesus, who fulfills the Old Testament’s prophecies and promises. Letus enthrone Jesus in our hearts and lives, dispelling every notion of exalted humans –“Moses-like”figures. At best,they are mere servants of the Lord Jesus, no match for his divine majesty.
