The Fulfilment of Jesus Christ

Jesus was the promised Messiah that the Hebrew prophets foretold. The Old Testament was completed in 450BC, hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Many people throughout the Old Testament books made the prophecies in astonishing detail. More than 300 prophecies were made in the Old Testament and then fulfilled through Jesus' life, death and resurrection. The chances of one person fulfilling a mere 8 of these prophecies are 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. For one person to fulfill 48 of these prophecies, the number becomes staggering--1 chance in 10 to the 157th power (1 with 157 zeros after it). Add to that the 250 other prophecies and it becomes impossible for any other person except Jesus to ever fit that particular sequence of time and events. In Isaiah 7:14, the author writes, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel." This is an example of a prophecy mentioned before Jesus was born. This prophecy was obviously fulfilled as mentioned in Matthew 1:18, which states, "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with ch


Another detailed account from Isaiah mentions how the Promised Messiah would act when put on trail. Isaiah 53:7 states, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." The fulfillment of this prophecy is mentioned in Matthew 26:62-63, which states, "Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, 'Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?' But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, 'I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.'" In Psalm 22:18, it is prophesied that the garments of the Messiah would be divided up and that people would cast lots for the clothing. This prophecy was fulfilled as mentioned in Mark 15:24, which states, "And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get." Psalm 16:10 provides another prophecy that states, "Because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay." This prophecy was fulfilled in the writing of Matthew 28:9, which says, "Suddenly Jesus met them. 'Greetings,' he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him." The final prophecy to be mentioned is from Psalm 68:18, which states, "When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious--that you, O Lord God, might dwell there." This prophecy was fulfilled in the writing of Luke 24:50-51 "When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven."

Jesus was the Master Teacher because his teachings were simple enough for people to understand the points he made about living life. Jesus used several techniques in his teachings. Jesus delivered his teachings in a wide variety of real-life situations and encounters. When Jesus would teach, he would not deliver his message in an academic lecture-type setting. His teachings usually occurred as the result of personal encounters, questions from inquirers, debates with the religious authorities, and the need to instruct his disciples in the light of his own imminent suffering and death, and of their role in continuing his ministry afterwards. Jesus used striking expressions often using delib
