I.B.S. #44

Matthew 5:17

- "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill."

When Jesus came to this earth, He fulfilled every prophecy that was made about the coming Messiah. One thing that I really like about reading these prophecies in the Old Testiment and seeing them come true in the New Testiment, is seeing that Jesus fulfills them all, yet He doesn't fulfill them in the way that man would have predicted Him to do. They prophecied that the Messiah would come and rule over all the earth and they probably expected someone who would, physically, be mighty or strong in stature. However, we know He came as the innocent lamb who ruled and still rules the whole earth with His unfathomable power. He came here not to be serve but to too serve, through these acts of service we see man stand in awe and wonder at why a man who claims to be the Son of God would wash the feet of men, or sit and talk with the prostitutes and theives. He fulfilled the law and He fulfilled the prohecies, Jesus Christ is Lord over all, and we can say that in full confidence.

Before I pray, I need to seriously think about the God that I am praying to.
