Lineage Journey

There are over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament that pointed forward to the coming of the redeemer, and Jesus fulfilled all of them. It was prophesied that he'll be born of a virgin, that he would come through the bloodline of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David, and also specifically the town he would be born in. In Micah five, two, it says that out of Bethlehem Freta, the one who was to be the ruler would come. There was more than one Bethlehem and here in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, Jesus was born. The likelihood of one man fulfilling 300 prophecies by coincidence or accident is almost impossible. The likelihood of one man fulfilling eight prophecies is one in 10 to the power of 17. That's one with 17 zeros after it. A man by the name of Professor Stoner illustrates it this way. If you took one in 10 to the power of 17 silver dollar coins and put them in the state of Texas, they would cover the state two feet deep. Then if you mark one of the coins and put them in the pile and blindfold a man and ask him to find the marked coin, his chances are one intent to the power of 17, almost impossible. Yet, Jesus did not fulfill eight prophecies. He fulfilled 300. Jesus' birth was foretold, and also the town of his birth was foretold. However, Mary and Joseph lived about a two to three day journey from this town or a 70 mile journey. The Bible records in Luke that due to a decree of Caesar, everyone needed to be registered and Maryn. Joseph headed to betham, heavily pregnant and riding on a donkey. They made their way there slowly, and as they'd reached there, they could not find any room in the in. They were only offered a stable and feeling desperate and out of options. They took this Today, there are a few locations that claim to be the exact location of Jesus' birth. Whether any of them are true is open to debate, but the fact remains, he was born in a stable. His parents were not rich, and he was not born in a nice warm room. The first things that he saw apart from his parents would've been wild animals. The first smells that he would've selt would've been that of a barn and all that that entails. If Jesus could be born in such a dirty, filthy place, then have no doubt that Jesus can be born in your heart today, no matter how bad you have been. Even though there are many prophecies in the Old Testament that pointed to the coming of Jesus, nearly everyone missed it. They had a certain idea as to how they thought the Messiah would come, and when he didn't come the way they expected, they missed it. Let us not miss the second coming of Jesus because we have a false interpretation of prophecy. The only people ready to receive Jesus when he came with the shepherds who were attending their sheep in these fields, when the angel appeared to them for shared the good news, they rejoice and hurry to the stable and worship the redeemer Jesus' birth and the prophecies that foretold it prove with the certainty that Jesus was Messiah starting here. He would go on to live for 33 years, a life that would change the history of the universe, the location of Jesus'. Birth shows how humble our savior is. He came from heaven to earth and lived a life where he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and his birth here in a barn in Bethlehem shows how low he was willing to go to save humanity. Jesus who was born in a stable can be born in your heart today if you will ask him to come in.
