More than a Prophet

Act 3:22  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Jesus fulfilled this prophecy. He was a prophet and also the Messiah and the only begotten Son of God. Peter had spoken earlier to the crowd that Jesus is both Lord and Christ.

Act 2:36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 
Act 2:37  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 
Act 2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Mat 16:13  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 
Mat 16:14  And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 
Mat 16:15  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 
Mat 16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
Mat 16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 

 Only by believing in Jesus will your sins be forgiven. When I first began attending a church where I would be baptized, the associate pastor was fresh out of a liberal theological seminary. I was with him outside of the church observing a nativity scene of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. He shook his head and turned to me saying, Joseph was the real father of Jesus. After many years I can look back at this and say, no, you were very wrong. Jesus was conceived through the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit and God is His Father.  So many do not understand who Jesus really is, We must sometimes unlearn some things in order to grow our faith in the truth of God. Lord God, give those who read this a desire for more of you. Let us see what you have for us, in Jesus name.
