Why is it important to listen to Jesus, the prophet?

The sermon highlights that Jesus is not merely one prophet among many, but the consummation of all prophecy. In John 6:68-69, Peter acknowledges that Jesus has the words of eternal life, which makes listening to Him crucial for salvation. His teachings encapsulate God’s full revelation and grace. Ignoring His words leads to spiritual death, underscoring the urgency for all to hear and heed Christ’s voice. Additionally, God commands that we listen to His Son in Matthew 17:5, affirming Jesus' place as the definitive source of truth and life.
