Teen Talk: Foretold & Fulfilled - Family Tree

Dec 2, 2020    Michael Fitzgerald

Have you ever stopped to consider, why Jesus (not Muhammed, Ghandi, the Pope, or some other person yet to come)? How can anyone be certain that Jesus is the one Messiah promised in Scripture long ago anyway? Jesus self-proclaimed that He was the way, truth, and life and that no one could come to the Father in Heaven except through Him (John 14:6). But are His words all we have to go by? How can we know that He is truly God’s Son and our source of hope, not just at Christmas, but all year long?


Throughout the Old Testament, the Messiah, or Promised One, was FORETOLD. 

There were prophesies, or claims of future events, made about Him - some hundreds and others even thousands of years before He was born. They would describe His bloodline, His birthplace, His character, and His life events. There were not just a handful of these prophecies made - there were over 300! The God of the Bible  wanted it to be clear who the Messiah was so that His people would recognize Him once He arrived. 

Through Jesus, the prophecies FORETOLD were FULFILLED - every single one. 

Join us today as we look prophecies made about Jesus’ lineage and talk about some ways you can be intentional this Christmas season.
