Know God - Day 28
Prophesy. What is it? According to Pastor, it is so much more than prediction. The prophets generally spoke to their own generations, to warn them. Now we are going to look at Messianic prophesies. One thousand years before Jesus. There are 324 messianic prophesies (approximately) - but we are not going to look at all of them. Just a few...
Isaiah 53
Crucifixion wasn't even invented for 700 years yet this passage describes the pain and suffering of Christ on the cross. God knew this (obviously), yet he still sent his son. Because he loves us! Jesus knew what was coming. Yet he still gave himself for us.
Pastor asks, "With this in mind, do you believe ... do you really believe ... deep down to the core ... in spite of your imperfections ... in God's amazing love for you?
If so, thank him, thank him, thank him!
If not, pray that your heart may be opened to the love and grace of our God."
What is God saying??? With the sheer number of prophecies given, he is saying a lot! Here is a snapshot of a few:
The Child - Isaiah 9:6
The Virgin - Isaiah 7:14
The Genealogy - Matthew 1:1,6 Isaiah 16:5, 11:10 (here is a GREAT song about this)
The City - Micah 5:2
The Region - Isaiah 9:1-2, Matthew 2:23, 4:13-16,
The Persecution - Matthew 2:16-18, Jeremiah 31:15
The Journey - Hosea 11:1, Matthew 2:14-15
The Gentiles - Isaiah 49:6, Matthew 12:17-21
The Healings - Isaiah 35:5-6a
The Release - Isaiah 61:1-2, Luke 4:16-21
The Cornerstone - Psalm 118:22-23, Matthew 21:42
The Betrayal - Zechariah 11:12-13, Matthew 26:14-15, 27:3-10
The Scattering - Zechariah 13:7, Matthew 26:31
The Cross - Psalm 22
God spent a lot of time laying out plans for the future of Christ. Do you believe he has specific plans for you? What are you hearing that they are?
Do I believe? yes. Do I know what they are? I have no idea! I am on such a strange and winding journey right now that I don't even know what I thought I knew. Ya know? According to Jeremiah - his plans are for us to have hope and prosper. the means is a mystery.
