How many times is it that Scripture says Jesus fulfilled a prophesy? I don't know, but there are several just in Chapter 2.
- Born in Bethlehem
- Called out of Egypt
- Called a Nazarene
I don't know if there were more that were fulfilled by his birth...I've heard that something like 353 prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus over His lifetime.
If it were even half that many...that is mind blowing. That one person could fulfill that many prophesies. What's more...I don't hear the Nay-Sayers pointing out prophesies that He did not fill...not even one.
Thank You Father for Jesus' life. None of His days here were by accident. None of what happened to Him was something You were not aware of and had not foreseen. Would you have 'preferred' that man would turn to You and not need the redemptive work of Jesus...sure...but we didn't. Thank You Father for Jesus...for His redeeming grace...and Your unending love. Help me embrace Your unending love, mercy and grace today. Help me be what You call me to be today. Like Mary and Joseph, help me know what You want 'today' and then help me to do it...today.
