Do you think of only the New Testament when you hear the name, Jesus? Does the Old Testament bring to mind the Patriarchs, David and Goliath, and Daniel in the Lion’s Den?
Our prayer is that after writing the WORD with us this month, you will see that the entirety of scripture – both Old and New Testament – is really all about Jesus! Like proverbial breadcrumbs dropped down to lead us, Old Testament prophecies serve as clues that point readers forward to the promised Messiah. Only Jesus satisfies (or fulfills) all of the Old Testament promises and predictions.
My quick internet search reveals that the life of Jesus fulfills over 300 Old Testament prophecies! 300! He is the One and Only … the Son of God and Son of Man and Savior of the world.
This month we will explore a smattering of those prophecies. We’ve selected only 14 of the 300 and lined them up with their New Testament counterparts to see each fulfilled.
We pray this reading and writing is worshipful for you. We pray it prompts you to wonder anew at the person of Jesus – who He is, what He has done, and what it all means.
May our time together in the Word lead us all to wonder and to worship with fresh eyes and renewed faith.
God became man. He chose to come. And He’s coming back.
Merry Christmas.
Our December Write the WORD bookmark may look a little different than usual, as we are changing it up a bit for Christmas! We needed a full page to lay out the Old Testament prophecies of Jesus Christ, alongside the corresponding fulfillment found in the New Testament.
Our prayer is that as you submerge yourself in the Word of God this month, you will discover anew that Jesus is indeed the One and Only Messiah – the Son of God and the Savior of the World– and will worship Him with renewed wonder and joy! Merry Christmas!
