How do we know that Christ is the true prophet?

In Deuteronomy 18, God promises to raise up a prophet from among His people, whom they should listen to. This promise is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is set apart from false prophets by His nature and mission—He gives life rather than taking it (John 10:11). While false prophets are greedy and self-serving, seeking to exploit their followers, Christ is the ultimate expression of love and sacrifice, giving His life for His sheep. His fulfillment of prophecy and His intrinsic character reveal Him as the true prophet.
