Prophecy is important. It shows God’s absolute control over all of history in that if God said that it will happen, it is going to happen. We can lean on these prophecies for understanding of God’s word and the perfection of His timing and look to them for hope when faced with our future. The greatest hope that we have is our hope in Jesus Christ, and yes, that was prophesied. We can follow the prophecies in the Bible that foretold the events that would occur in the lifetime of Jesus; prophecies that tell of His birth, His life, His death, His resurrection.
This week, we will spend time looking up the fulfilled prophecies from Jesus’ time here on earth. Match the Old Testament scripture with the prophecy being foretold and the scripture that shows the fulfillment. At the end of each day, take a moment to write down what hope we can draw from these passages and say a prayer of thanksgiving for that hope. His Birth: Prophecy: Isaiah 60:3, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2, Genesis 12:3
His Life: Prophecy: Isaiah 6:9-10, Zechariah 9:9, Isaiah 53:4, Isaiah 11:2
His Death: Prophecy: Isaiah 53:12, Exodus 12:46, Psalms 69:21, Zechariah 13:7
His Resurrection: Prophecy: Psalm 24:7-10, Psalm 110:1, Psalm 16:10, Psalm 2:8
