Moses Wrote About Christ.

Moses. You know who Moses is, most people with even a little Bible knowledge know who Moses is. It helps that there have been movies about Moses- exposing those who watch them to this Biblical figure. Moses - the giver of the Ten Commandments given to Him to bring to the people by God. Moses- the one who God parted the Red Sea for.  Moses- used by God for God's purposes. Moses- as a baby taken in by Egyptian royalty- grown to a man who chose to abandon the riches and power of Egypt to embrace his heritage as a  Hebrew. Moses- the leader of the freed Hebrew slaves for forty years in the wilderness.  

You know Moses.

Moses wrote about Jesus Christ our Savior.  Thousands of years before Christ was born, Moses wrote of Him. From the beginning, God determined we would be His if we choose to be His, by the grace of His Son through His sacrifice!

Joh 5:46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 

Gen. 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel. 

Deu 18:15  The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 

Deu 18:16  According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 

Deu 18:17  And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 

Deu 18:18  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 

Deu 18:19  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

The Grand Conclusion Romans 3:19-22

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.

Witnessed by the Prophets

When Peter preached Christ to Cornelius and his family, he said, "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Acts 10:43.  

The prophets preached the same gospel that the apostles did. See 1 Peter 1:12. 

1Pe 1:12  Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 

There is but one foundation, and that is "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." Eph.  2:20.

This also suggests another thought about "witnessed by the law." It is not simply that the righteousness which is manifested in Christ is approved by the law, but it is proclaimed in the law. In the portion of Scripture specifically known as "the law," the portion written by Moses, Christ is preached. 

Moses was a prophet, and therefore he testified of Christ the same, "for he wrote of me." John 5:46. 

Joh 5:46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 

More than this, the very giving of the law itself was a promise and an assurance of Christ. This will appear when we come to the fifth chapter of Romans.
