The book of Deuteronomy gives us a glimpse of who Jesus is in the Old Testament (O.T).
Deuteronomy 4:1 states Hearken O Israel, what I teach you for in doing them you will live and possess the land. Deuteronomy 4:9 states Pay attention (take heed) so you Keep you SOUL, and forget not from your MINDS what you have seen and guard your HEART. HEART, SOUL and MIND. Teach them to your sons, and to your son’s sons. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop (Keeper or Overseer) of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)
Jesus taught, you shall Love the LORD Your God, with ALL Your HEART, and with all your SOUL and with all your MIND. (Matthew 22:37). Jesus Christ is the Teacher, come from God. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. (John 3:2). Note, what Mary calls the resurrected Jesus, John 20:16 records that she calls Him Rabboni (which is Master or Teacher).
In Deuteronomy, Jesus is a Teacher; The Teacher from God.
