TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 2ND DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 2nd December 2024, Monday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: A Sure Word
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:2
Recommended Reading: Matthew 2:1-6
There are 60 major prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ. In their book Science Speaks, Peter Stoner and Robert Newman calculated the odds of any one man in all of human history fulfilling only 8 of those prophecies to be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. They compared those odds to covering the state of Texas two feet deep in silver dollars, then sending a blindfolded man into Texas to pick out one marked silver dollar.
Jesus didn’t fulfill only 8 of the 60 Old Testament prophecies—He fulfilled all 60! The odds of that happening are astronomical unless it was the plan of God. The prophet Micah prophesied that Jesus would be born in a tiny, rural suburb of Jerusalem called Bethlehem—and He was. Fulfilled prophecy assures us that Jesus Christ is the One God sent to save us from our sins.
Faith in Christ is not a leap in the dark. It is faith based on God’s sure word of fulfilled prophecy (2 Peter 1:19).
No Bible subject holds more practical implications than the matter of prophecy.
