While I am completing my new book on the 365 old testament prophecies that Jesus fulfilled, from time to time I will include a few excerpts from that book here on B.P.U. The completed work will be much more detailed and extensive. The prophecies that Jesus fulfilled give us both credible evidence for our faith, but also important information that we can share with others who have doubts about the identity of Jesus Christ as God and the only Savior of the world.
The Messiah will have a ministry of healing to validate his identity.
Old Testament Prediction:
Isaiah 35:5-6 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.
New Testament Fulfillment:
Matthew 11:1-6 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
