The Prophets Pointing to Messiah

In week thirteen of ' The Case for Biblical Literacy ' series, Pastor Kevin Cain starts & ends on the road to Emmaus. In Luke 24, the risen Jesus opened His disciples' eyes "beginning with Moses and all the prophets," which means He revealed Himself through a Bible study of the Old Testament. Pastor Kevin then follows six steps of fulfilled prophecy: Jesus' birth, which Matthew ties to Isaiah, Micah, Hosea, and Jeremiah; John the Baptist as the forerunner Isaiah and Malachi foretold; Zechariah breaking 400 years of silence; Simeon and John as two witnesses; Jesus' life fulfilling Psalm 69, Ezekiel 34, and Isaiah 56; and the crucifixion playing out Psalm 22 line by line. Citing the mathematical odds against even eight messianic prophecies coming true in one person, he argues that faith is validated by the reliability of what we believe, not by how passionately we believe it. He closes with a three-part challenge: read the Scripture, recognize Jesus on every page, and point someone else to Him, because "biblical literacy that doesn't move your feet is just trivia."
