Good Morning Everyone!!!!
It's another great day to arise and to worship and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Today is Day 11 the final day in the Series on the Old Testament Predictions of the birth of Jesus and the New Testament Fulfillments.
Prophecy: The Messiah would also come from Egypt.
Old Testament Prediction: Hosea 11:1:"When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son".
Meaning: The Lord regarded Israel as His son, and treated the nation with special care, delivering the people from bondage in Egypt. So as the Lord delivered the nation of Israel out of bondage from Egypt, so he Call His Son Jesus, back from the land of Egypt, upon the death of King Herod, who had sought to kill him.
New Testament Fulfillment: Matthew 2:14-15:"When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed to Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son".
Meaning: The prophecy quoted in verse 15 is from Hosea 11:1. It refered to the nation of Israel as God's son coming out of Egypt in the Exodus. Jesus is the genuine Son Of God and, as Israel's Messiah, is the true Israel. Therefore Jesus gives the fuller meaning to the prophecy of Hosea and thus another Old Testament prediction was fulfilled in the New Testament with the birth of Jesus.
The cattle are lowering, the baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay at my cradle, till morning is nigh
Heavenly Father, How thankful we are that You stand with us everyday, and when on those days, the storms of this life toss us around, it it a comforting thought to know, that You carry us, and that You keep our feet on solid ground.
Amen
"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path"
Psalm 119:105
Have a God Filled and a Spirit Led Day
Yours In Christ
