Faith In Prophecy!
"For if you believed Moses, you would
believe Me; for he wrote about Me"
John 5: 46
Moses lived two thousand years before Jesus, yet our Lord
insisted that He Himself, Jesus of Nazareth, was the subject
for Moses’ writings in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
and Deuteronomy. That’s a claim, but Jesus was
actually
understating the truth.
Not only did Moses write about Him, but so did the psalmists, the
prophets, and the other writers of the Old Testament. The Hebrew
Scriptures had only one ultimate aim—to introduce the Messiah to
the world. They described Him, predicted Him, explained Him,
anticipated Him, and commended Him.
Some people never have inward flutters about their faith; they're
so convinced the Bible is true that doubt doesn’t rattle them. But
other Christians have occasional moments when they say, “Is this
really true? Is Christianity true?” After all, the secular world attacks
the Christian faith every day.
The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy about Jesus reassures
our faith. Jesus is on every page, and He Himself is the fulfillment
of prophecies made hundreds of years before His birth. The Old
Testament gives us a firm foundation for faith.
"Jesus stepped into the portrait drawn
for Him in advance like a living man
stepping into a pencil drawing."
David Jeremiah
