This week #3-13
This week in OFF Road we started our 2 part Christmas series titled, “Better than a Bike,” in which we are discussing the greatest gift ever given, Jesus Christ. In this weeks lesson we looked to the prophetic words spoken before the birth of Christ and the impossibility that 1 person was “lucky” enough to fulfill those prophecies. We discussed a few of the prophesies and noticed how specific they are and how amazing that is. In His birth Christ fulfilled 14 prophesies, in his lifetime 61 prophesies. The mathematic probability of 1 man fulfilling just 8 of the prophecies is 10 to the 17th power. In a word picture that is like filling the entire state of Texas 2 feet deep in silver dollars, marking 1 of those silver dollars, blindfolding someone and telling them to pick up just 1 silver dollar. The likelihood of them picking up the marked coin is the same likelihood of 1 man fulfilling 8 of those prophesies. So what does this mean for us?
-God orchestrated Christ birth well ahead of time
-The probability of Christ just being “lucky” and fulfilling these prophecies is impossible
-Therefore, he is the foretold Son of God, and we should pay attention to his life
-he is the greatest gift ever given
