Moses on the Resurrection
(John 1:43–51)
Meeting Jesus, Phillip runs home and excitedly tells Nathaniel and says, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph (John 1:44)
Moses knew about Jesus? Look at the Law (the Torah), the first five books (the Pentateuch), and Christ can be clearly seen in the imagery. Did not John the Baptist point to Jesus and say, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). John the Baptist did not say it once. He said it again in John 1:36, “Look, the Lamb of God.” Look! Look! Look! Do you realize who this is? This is the Lamb of God!
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches. (Matthew 13:31-32)
