ELI5: Why do Christians think there are no prophets after Jesus (Muhammad, John Smith, etc.) even though they believe in the prophets that came before Jesus (Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses)?

I'm not Christian, but this is one thing about the faith that has always baffled me.

You might also ask why Muslims and Mormons don't recognize prophets after Muhammad and John Smith. It's just the most recent update on the religion that is compatible with their faith. Believing in some prophets doesn't require one to believe in all prophets. Religion tends to be heavily discretionary.
