Foresight!
"This Good News was promised long ago
by God’s prophets in the Old Testament."
Romans 1: 2
Can anyone accurately describe what life on earth will be like
seven hundred years from now, should Christ tarry? We can’t
imagine it. We can’t keep up with the technological challenges
of our own time. Yet every aspect of birth, life, and
ministry of
Jesus was predicted centuries before He was born.
We’re told He would be born to a virgin (Isaiah 7:14) in the
town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) and innocent children would
be killed (Jeremiah 31:15). He would be a descendant of
Abraham and David (Isaiah
11:1-3).
His parents would flee to Egypt to save Him (Hosea 11:1),
and He would return to grow up and begin His ministry in
Galilee (Isaiah 9:1-2).
That’s only the beginning! On the road to Emmaus with His
two disciples, “Jesus quoted them passage after passage of
writings of the prophets, beginning with the book of Genesis
and going right on through the Scriptures, explaining what
the passages mean and what
they said about himself”
(Luke 24:27, TLB).
We have a Savior the skeptics cannot
explain away! You have a Lord you can
trust today!
"The New Testament is thus the decryption
key
for unlocking the meaning of the Old
Testament Scriptures."
