One of the greatest reasons for the Jews to embrace Jesus was because Moses’ own testimony concerning “a prophet like me” who would arise “from among you.” Moses warns them, “You must listen to him!”

Jesus saw in this verse a promise of his coming when he spoke in John 5:46:

            “If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.” – John 5:46

The priests, Levites and other Jewish leaders knew they were to expect the “prophet” when they asked John the Baptist:

“When the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ‘I am not the Messiah.’
They asked him, ‘Then who are you? Are you Elijah?’
He said, ‘I am not.’
‘Are you the Prophet?’
He answered, ‘No.’ – John 1:19-21

People from among the Jews consider Jesus to be “The Prophet” Moses spoke saying:
           
            “Surely this is the Prophet.” – John 6:14
            “Surely this man is the Prophet.” – John 7:40
            “We have found the one Moses wrote about.” – John 1:45

After the church began in Jerusalem both Peter and Stephen appealed to Moses’ warning. They spoke of the Prophet like Moses who would arise that the people “must listen to.”

“For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’ ” – Acts 3:22-23

“This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’ ” – Acts 7:37

C.S. Lewis wrote about
"Moral Law in his book 
Mere Christianity. He wrote:

“The Moral Law, or Law of Human Nature, is not simply a fact about human behavior in the same way as the Law of Gravitation is, or may be, simply a fact about how heavy objects behave. On the other hand, it is not a mere fancy, for we cannot get rid of the idea, and most of the things we say and think about men would be reduced to nonsense if we did. And it is not simply a statement about how we should like men to behave for our own convenience; for the behavior we call bad or unfair is not exactly the same as the behavior we find inconvenient, and may even be the opposite. Consequently, the rule of Right and Wrong, or Law of Human Nature, or whatever you call it, must somehow or other be a real thing—a thing that is really there, not made up by ourselves.”
