Who is the Greatest Prophet in the Bible?
Have you ever wondered which prophet in the Bible was the greatest of all? Who would you name, and why did you select him? Did you select him for his great miracles? Maybe you selected the greatest prophet on great feats that he accomplished.
Most of us may have differing opinions on the matter.
Moses is a great selection; David is also a good choice.
Samuel, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah among others would also be front runners.
You might be surprised to learn that none of those great prophets mentioned above is the greatest prophet.
The greatest prophet is John the Baptist.
Don't look at me.
I didn't say it.
Jesus did...
and I'm sure he knows.
Luke 7:28, "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
" What makes John so special? He didn't do any miracles or great feats.
Why was he the greatest prophet of all? What did John do that was greater than any prophet? He is the prophet that revealed Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to the world.
(John 1:29-34) It is his testimony that Jesus is the Son of God that makes him the greatest prophet.
Why does Jesus say, "...
but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
" (Luke 7:28) When a person gives his life to Christ...
Jesus performs a transformation in the believer.
That transformation is unseen with the human eye, but it is real nonetheless.
The transformation is the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost.
(Titus 3:4-6) Jesus takes the old heart of unbelief out of the believer and puts a new sinless heart in him.
He then puts his Holy Spirit in him.
Ezekiel and David confirm this witness.
(Ezekiel 11:19-20, Psalms 51:10-13) When Jesus Christ takes the sinful heart out of man and puts his Holy Spirit within that man he gives him the ability to witness for Christ.
Jesus testifies that each believer has the ability to witness for him.
(Acts 1:8) Even though John the Baptist was the greatest prophet in the Bible every believer in Jesus Christ has a greater testimony than John.
Every Christian can witness to the personal saving power and grace of Jesus Christ.
There is no greater witness than that.
