Why is Jesus called the Prophet in Deuteronomy 18?

In Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses prophesies about a Prophet who will be raised up from among the people, and Jesus fulfills this role. The title 'Prophet' with a capital 'P' signifies His unique standing among all former prophets. The function of a prophet is to convey God's message, and Jesus embodies this by revealing the fullness of God's truth and will to humanity. His authority and revelation surpass that of previous prophets, as He is not merely a mouthpiece, but the Word made flesh who profoundly communicates God's intentions and purposes to His people.
