28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. Luke 1:26-33 God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Unknowingly they were playing right into God's eternal redemptive plan! (see below)Īs I'm writing this my thoughts are drawn to a historical story that we celebrate yearly yet sadly so few comprehend its magnitude! That statement infuriated the religious and political leaders of that day and from that point on they conspired to put Jesus to death.
So when Jesus said this in John 8:24, 58 " For unless you believe that (I AM) you will die in your sin, and before Abraham was I AM!" meaning I am the eternal, eternally unchangeable, I have no past, no future yet I am eternal present, self existing, self-sufficient. When Moses with knees knocking and voice trembling asked God what is your name and who should I say sent me? God's answer was! Tell them "I AM" sent you. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” We don't have to look any further then Matthew 16 to understand why! Verse 15-16 explains it “But what about you?” Jesus asked. More has been written about Jesus then any single person in human history yet he still remains thee most mysterious, controversial, and polarizing figure in human history. Jesus face has graced the cover of most major leading magazines in the world. The wide range of opinions, speculations, assumptions, even shots in the dark really have not changed much in 2000 years! In Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of man is?” What's At Jeopardy? Your Eternal Soul! As we finish the final night watch journey together to the I cannot think of a more important topic to answer for those who are still unsure that Jesus is the promised Messiahģ51 Old Testament Prophecies perfectly fulfilled In Jesus Christ.
