Do you know what the Scripture says about Jesus Christ, you, and eternity?
Jesus told the "religious" of His day, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures" (Matt. 22:29).
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the Scriptures- the prophets-spoke of His coming. The world should have known and welcomed Him, but their ignorance and blindness concerning the teaching of Scripture led them to fail to recognize who He was. The world is and was without excuse. Look what the Scripture revealed about Christ long before He came:
He would be of the tribe of Judah (Gen. 49:9, 10). He would be born in Bethlehem (Mic. 5:2).
He would be born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14).
He would be called out of Egypt (Hos. 11:1).
He would come as a prophet (Deut. 18:18, 19). His own people would reject Him (Isa. 53:3). He would make a triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Zech. 9:9).
He would be sold for thirty pieces of silver (Zech. 11:12, 13).
He would be put to death by crucifixion (Psalm 22).
His hands and His feet would be pierced (Psalm 22:16). Soldiers would cast lots for His clothing (Psalm 22:18). He would be raised from the dead (Psalm 16:9, 10).
He would ascend into heaven (Psalm 68:18).
