Prophecies Of The Christ To Come
Prophecies of the Christ to come
The death of Christ was foretold 1,000* years before Jesus was born. Gods plan to save us was set before our creation. The Bible shows us the wickedness of men and the grace of God in forgiveness and sacrifice. Rejected and hated by his own creation, yet he desires not one to perish. Life with our Lord and Creator Jesus Christ is more fulfilling than anything this world has to offer. We can know him. The one and only living God.
Silent before his accusers
“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.” - Isaiah 53:7
“And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.” - Mark 15:4-5
Hated without cause
“More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore?” - Psalm 69:4
“If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.’” - John 15:24
Crucified with criminals
“Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” - Isaiah 53:12
“Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.” - Matthew 27:38
Prayed for his enemies
“They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.” - Psalm 109:4
“And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” - Luke 23:34
A sacrifice for our sin
"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5
"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:6
There are hundreds of prophecies throughout Scripture. 66 books, historical evidence, the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin, and an unending and powerful testimony of all of creation who know Him. God does not call people to an ignorant and empty faith. God has revealed himself for our sake and has given hope in a dark and hopeless world.
Those who know the glory and joy of our Lord, tell someone about him today! Those who haven’t seen the Light that is Christ Jesus, ask me about him and you can receive new life.
