Read Matthew 1-3
Matthew 2:23 says, "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." Earlier in the reading, it said He would be called out of Egypt and also come out of Bethlehem. I wonder if anyone taking a test on Messianic Prophecy during Biblical times would have gotten an A. Jesus fulfilled everyone of the scriptures, even when they contradicted themselves.
It’s a good thing we’re not required to figure everything in scripture out before we can believe. Even seeing how God works everything out in the end for so many of the Old Testament gang, we can’t help but wonder if we’ve finally discovered something that God can’t handle.
We can’t imagine any possible way for God to get us and Himself from where we are now to where He promised we’d be, whether it’s financial, health-wise, family-wise, or circumstances. Fortunately, He doesn’t depend on our best efforts. He will do what He has said He will do, just like He has always done.
