FALSE PROPHETS, TRUE PROPHETS
    In Deuteronomy today we hear that God’s very words will fill the mouth of a true prophet, but a false prophet
will, in a manner of speaking, put mere mortal words into God’s mouth. In Mark’s Gospel, we see Jesus teaching
and healing as a true prophet, one filled with the authority of God’s own voice, the Holy One of God.
    The whole history of our church is filled with both true and false prophets. But in today’s Gospel we learn that Je-
sus’ fame spread because he taught with authority; he wasn’t an authority because he was popular or famous. We also
learn from him, in his desert temptation confrontations with Satan, that anyone can quote scripture, even against
God’s purposes. And today we hear that his authority was not like that of the scribes, who held the official positions of
religious authority in his day. Our work is to do our best to discern the true prophets in our midst, and to be true
prophets as well. The psalmist tells us how to do this: by not hardening our hearts when God speaks. If we truly listen
to God, it will be God’s very words filling our mouths.
