It starts with a hope, a yearning and curiosity. There has to be something greater, better, more powerful. What are your options? God, all the other false gods or nothing, emptiness, a void. The other false gods were never an option for me. It was God or nothing.
I started looking for answers. I started attending church, a good Bible teaching church. I started verifying what I was being told. When the pastor talked about the Dead Sea Scrolls, I had to know more.
Once I was convinced what is written in the Bible is true, it wasn't too much of a stretch to believe the whole Bible is true. Every word, from start to finish. Scripture tells us the Bible is the word of God. Scripture tells us God is truth and cannot lie.
That's why I find prophecy so fascinating. Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, God gave His people hope. It's like finding a treasure when you read prophecy in the Old Testament and then see it was fulfilled in the New Testament.
Here is more prophecy fulfilled. Zechariah lived 500 years before Jesus was born yet he prophesied the manner in which Jesus would enter Jerusalem.
Zechariah 9: 9 Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—riding on a donkey’s colt.
Matthew 21:1-7
4 This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,
5 “Tell the people of Jerusalem, ‘Look, your King is coming to you.
He is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt.’”
Blessings, Cecilia
