Jesus Was…, 5

~ Jesus Christ Was Witnessed by The Prophets ~

Passage  ~  “Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.  But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.  The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.  Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.  To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins’” (Acts 10:34-43).

Comment  ~  The Scriptures are full of prophecies (over 300) regarding the coming Messiah which have been documented many times by many sources.  For example, regarding “Abundant Life Now” look at our index in the left column for “Messiah” which to date has 297 posts regarding fulfilled prophecies.

Significance  ~  The odds of all these prophecies being fulfilled in one person’s life are without exaggeration astronomical.  The only rational explanation is the Word of God is divinely inspired and that Jesus Christ is indeed who He said He is. 

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
