Words we can trust

Truth is vitally important in life and relationships.  It is important that we can trust people that we are in relationship with.  It is important that we be true to our word, but in this life we will meet people who are not truthful, but there is One we can always trust!

We have been studying through the book of Matthew together.  Today we come to Matthew 24:15–35.  In this passage Jesus repeated several Old Testament verses. He repeated:

•     Isaiah 13:10 and 34:4 in verse 29

•     Daniel 7:13–14 in verse 30a

•     Zechariah 12:10–14 in verse 30b. And, in verse 31, he used

•     Isaiah 27:13; Deuteronomy 30:4 and Zechariah 2:6.

Josephus, a history writer, lived from AD 37 to AD 100. One of his history books was called ‘the Jewish War’. This book shows how accurate Jesus’ words were.  If you read any part of that history, it is very sad.  Many, many Jewish people died, but there did remain a remnant.

Application:   I think the main point of this lesson today, for me, is that Jesus, Yeshua by His Hebraic name, did not speak many prophecies while on earth, but He did speak of some and what He said came true.  Yeshua, Jesus, is someone we can trust.  What He says is true.  He is The Way, The Truth and our very Life!

Heavenly Father, thank You that Your Word is TRUE!  Thank you that You are One we can trust.  What was spoken through Yeshua on earth is true and we can know that everything He said will come to pass and one day we will see Him again.  Through Christ, our Truth, I pray.  Amen & Amen.
