THE PROPHETS TOLD US SO!

"The mood of this age is all wrong.  Everybody's looking for proof."  With those very words, the book of Luke, chapter 11, verse 29 tells us what was true in the days following Christ's resurrection from the dead, and I believe it is also true today.  "Prove it!  I won't believe until I see proof!"  This quote I've heard over and over.

Luke 11:31 goes on to say, "Wisdom far greater than Solomon's is right in front of you, and you quibble over evidence."

The prophets Micah, Isaiah, and Zechariah each prophesied that the Messsiah would come, to watch for Him and for certain other facts, as well. Micah said He would be born in Bethlehem.  Isaiah said He would be born of a virgin.  Zechariah said he would enter Jerusalem in triumph, as He did just before His trial. Also among the prophesies are these: He would be rejected by His own people, He would be tried and condemned, He would be silent before His accusers, He would be struck and spat upon, He would be mocked and insulted, and He would die by crucifixion. The prophets even tell us that He would pray for His enemies and finally, He would be raised from the dead.

The writings of the long past verified Christ's last moments as to what would happen.  Psalm 110:1 also tells us the Messiah is "now at God's right hand."

How could each of these men and others, God's men of righteousness, have prophecied exactly what was to finally happen?  The world still refuses to believe what their minds cannot understand. The mood of this age is still in wrongness.  Unbelievers still prefer to believe that which they have personally experienced and cannot believe that which others have experienced,  especially that which requires personal actions.  And so what they see as "myth" is nothing but an interesting theory.

But, there is still a miracle in all of this.  The miracle is that Christ still loves the World and all in it.  And there is another miracle available to any who want to receive the first...when we ask Him, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah gives us love and forgiveness.

Praise be to God!  Our Deliverer!
