Gospel Sentence
““The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—” (Deuteronomy 18:15)
Reading
“And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’” (Deuteronomy 18:17–20)
Meditation
God’s prophets spoke His words. False prophets were noted for teaching people to follow other gods, speaking what God had not commanded, and predicting things which did not come true. How are we lured by false prophets today? What other gods are we tempted to follow? Who alone has the Truth?
Silence
