Realization hits me! The old testament prophesy of Jesus' coming years before He was born and us, being around.. read of it, heard of it. But I come to understand this, that Jesus came and fulfilled the prophesy of His death, so that we may LIVE
Old testament:
So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver... throw it to the potter-that princely price they set on me
new testament:
For 30 shekles, Judas sold Jesus to the Pharisees and such, sealing and fulfilling the prophesy
Old testament:
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter
new testament:
Jesus was whipped, tortured and was led by the Roman soldiers up to the calvary, but He did not complain nor lament..... He accepted the affliction caused
Old testament:
And they made His grave with the wicked-but with the rich at His death
new testament:
He was crucified with the robbers/thief- and buried by Nicoedemus at the cave
Old testament:
He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors
new testament:
Jesus prayed and said, Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing
Old testament:
He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed, All we like sheep have gone astray
new testament:
Did not Jesus suffered the afflictions by the ROman torturous methods? By His stripes, WE ARE HEALED
Dear Father in heaven,
Ya know, Following U is something that I want to do, and it hits me when I realise what great sacrifice U've done so that we may come before U once again. Father, I ask for Ur forgiveness, for I've done a great lot of things that is not right by Ur sight. Forgive me Father. I come before U today Lord.. not asking for anything, but wanting to be in Ur presence...
