:: Deuteronomy 17 – 19 :: From Moses to the Messiah: God’s Promise of a Prophet | Michelle Fahring

From Moses to the Messiah and Beyond — from the warnings and guidance of Moses to the courageous witness of Stephen, today’s episode shows us
God’s faithfulness across generations. ❤️

Together, we explore Deuteronomy 17–19, taking a closer look at God’s guidance for leadership, justice, and faithful living. We see how Moses prepared his people not just for the Promised Land, but for the ultimate Prophet, Priest, and King — Jesus Christ. His words were full of care, warning, and hope,
pointing forward to God’s plan for redemption.

Then we follow a thread from the Old Testament to the New as we turn to Stephen in Acts 7, whose courageous speech boldly proclaims Jesus as the Prophet Moses promised. Stephen recounts God’s faithfulness throughout Israel’s history — even when the people stumbled — reminding us that God’s promises are never delayed or forgotten… all before he is martyred for his faith in Jesus.

Along the way, we reflect on God’s heart for justice and mercy, including the cities of refuge and the principle that punishment should fit the crime. These instructions weren’t just ancient rules — they reveal God’s care for life, fairness, and the well-being of His people, showing how justice and compassion go hand in hand.

This episode invites us to see God’s promises fulfilled and to recognize that the same faithfulness that guided the Israelites is still active in our lives today. ❤️
