(Deut 18:15-19; Heb. l:1)

The Scriptures so represent the Lord Jesus Christ.

Though other prophets were both called and qualified of God, they were finite and fallible, only human and necessarily imperfect. Their inferiority to Him will appear if they are contrasted with Him in the following particulars:

1. In numbers, many. He one, alone, solitary.

2. In limitations of knowledge. He without limitations.

3. In scope of power. He having all power.

4. They sinful and imperfect. He sinless and perfect.

5. They inspired at times only. He always the divine mouthpiece

6. They not always understanding. He omniscient and original.

7. They but partially foreseeing. He Framer and controller of the ages.

8. They witnessing to the Light. He Himself the Light of the world.

9. They revealing truth in part. He Himself the Truth.

10. They giving place to others. He without rival or successor.
