Luke 22:37
New Living Translation (©2007)
"For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: 'He was counted among the rebels.' Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true."
Pastor Peter kicked off the new series "The Story" as we examine and celebrate Jesus and his advent. Jesus claimed to be the Messiah and the deliverer of the Jews, but how can we be sure such a lofty claim is true? After all, many others have claimed to be saviors as well. The difference is that Jesus fulfilled over 60 Messianic prophecies. It's been estimated that a single person being able to fulfill a few prophecies would have a 1 in 10^17 chance of doing so. If the Bible was thus able to correctly predict a Messiah and Jesus was able to perfectly fulfill the role, then how much more do His promises mean? Jesus promises eternal life and peace of mind and heart. Do we believe in our hearts the truth of Jesus' claims and promises? We should, and in this coming season, let us be compelled out of joy to share this experience and love with others!
