… Then Doing This Is ‘Just’ Another Miracle For God …

Check out these *Bible verses and see if you can figure out to whom they are referring:

1. “Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head.”
2. “The kings of the Earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and His anointed one.”
3. “Even my friend in whom I trusted, one who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.”
4. “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.”
5. “Then I said to them, ‘If it seems right to you, give me my wages, but if not keep them.’ So they weighed out 30 pieces of silver. ‘Throw it to the potter.’ the Lord said to me, this magnificent price I was valued by them. So I took the 30 pieces of silver and threw it into the House of the Lord, to the potter.”
6. “I gave my back to those who beat Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out my beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spitting.”
7. “They pierced my hands and feet.”
8. “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”
9. Everyone who sees me mocks me; they sneer and shake their heads: ‘He relies on the Lord; let Him rescue him, let the Lord deliver him, since he takes pleasure in Him.”
10. “They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.”
11. “He bore the sin of many and interceded for the revels.”
12. “The Lord declared to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

If you are thinking these verses (which are just 12 of the 24 that could be cited) come from the New Testament of the Bible and are all referencing Jesus at His crucifixion. you would be only half right.

These verses do reference Jesus at His crucifixion, but each of these verses appeared in the Old Testament centuries before He was born in Bethlehem and lived 33 years on this Earth on His way to fulfilling His reason for coming, to die for the sins of all who accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

So if God is capable of creating the universe of which the furthest parts which we are only now beginning to see images of via NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, inspiring Old Testament prophets to write about Jesus hundreds of years before His birth is just another miracle for Him!
