His Coming Foretold
Hundreds of years before Jesus' birth, the Old Testament of the Bible recorded
the words of the prophets of Israel predicting His coming. The Old Testament,
written by many people over a period of 1,500 years, contains more than 300
prophecies describing His appearance. All of these details came true, including
his miraculous birth, His sinless life, His many miracles, His death and His resurrection.
The life Jesus led, the miracles He did, the words He spoke, His death on the
cross, His resurrection, His ascent to heaven - all point to the fact that He
was not merely man, but more than man. Jesus claimed, "I and the Father are One"
(John 10:30),
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father"
(John 14:9),
and "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
(John 14:6).
As we study Scripture and the life of Jesus, we realize that His life and message cause change.
