DAILY READINGS: Ezra 6; Daniel 7; Revelation 2:18 to 3:6
And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah…out of thee shall come
a Governor, that shall rule My people Israel. Matthew 2:6
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called My son. Matt. 2:15b
And He came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets. Matthew 2:23a
Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 Messianic prophecies. This was no
mere coincidence. He was the Messiah! To be at once from Bethlehem,
Egypt and Nazareth could not have been humanly arranged. Only
God could have done such a thing. We worship Him today—the fulfillment
of all of God’s promises and plans. —Jason Bechtel
Sweetly rest Thou promised Saviour, by the prophets long foretold;
Brightly beams the Father’s favour, now all men His love behold.—A. Hoppe
