Day 1- BORN OF A WOMAN
Read Genesis 3:15 . Who would Jesus be born from, a man or a woman?
Read Matthew 1:20 and Galatians 4:4. Who was Jesus born of?
Things to note: This prophecy might seem silly because every human comes from a woman. You first lived in your mom’s belly and came from her. The thing to notice is that Jesus is the only human to be born of a woman without a man’s help.
Do you believe without a shadow of a doubt that He is the Messiah?
Circle one: YES or NO
Day 2- IMMANUEL, BORN OF A VIRGIN
Read Isaiah 7:14 . Who will Jesus be born from? What will His name be?
Read Matthew 1:18-23 and Luke 1:26-31
Was Jesus born of a virgin? What did the angel tell Mary/Joseph to name Him?
What does Immanuel mean?
Things to note: The Bible says that Mary was betrothed to Joseph. That was what they meant by engaged. Before the angel appeared, Joseph found out Mary was pregnant. It is clear he knew there was no way she was pregnant by him because the Bible says he was going to divorce her quietly. Joseph thought Mary cheated on him until the angel explained what happened. How does what you have learned give you confidence Jesus is your Savior? Do you believe Jesus was God on earth like His name explains?
I PROMISE YOU
You are looking at 20 of the 300+ prophecies that Jesus fulfilled in the Bible. All of these prophesies are another way God is promising you a Messiah, who is Jesus. As you read these verses write the prophecy verse next to the fulfilled verse in your Bible and vice versa.
Day 3- HE WILL BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM
Read Micah 5:2. Who would come from Bethlehem according to this prophecy?
Read Matthew 2:1 and Luke 2:4-6. Where was Jesus born?
Things to note: Joseph and Mary were living in a town called Nazareth in the region of Galilee. In those days, before Jesus’ birth, Caesar issued a decree for all the people under the control of the Roman Empire to register for a census. The Romans did this so they would know how many people existed in their empire. Since Joseph and Mary were from the lineage of King David, their hometown was Bethlehem in the land of Judah. God used the Roman government to make history happen in the right timing to fulfill a prophecy. God is in control and even the world lines up with His plan. How does what you have learned give you confidence Jesus is your Savior? Do you believe God can use the world to make His plan for you happen?
Day 4- A STAR WILL COME OUT OF JACOB
Read Numbers 24:17
What will come out of Jacob? What is a scepter?
Look back at Micah 5:2. Does it say here the Messiah would be a ruler?
Read Matthew 1:2. Was Jesus a descendant of Jacob?
Read Matthew 2:1-2. Who came to see Jesus and why?
How did they know the King of the Jews had arrived?
Things to note: God changed Jacob’s name to “Israel” in Genesis 35. Being a descendent of Jacob also proves that He is Jewish. A ruler holds a scepter and this is why the Magi call the child they are looking for “King of the Jews.” The Magi are from the East. The prophecy in Numbers was from a pagan man from the east who was commanded by an eastern king to curse God. Instead, God controlled his speech and the pagan man from the east blessed God and prophesied about Jesus. The Magi knew of the star because of they had heard the prophecy of hundreds of years earlier.
Day 5- THE TRIBE OF JUDAH/DAVID’S THRONE
Read Genesis 49:10
Jacob (Israel) had 12 sons. Each son represented a tribe of Israel. What is the prophecy concerning the son/tribe of Judah? What shall not depart from Judah?
What will happen when who it belongs to comes?
Read Luke 3:33 and Hebrews 7:14
What son/tribe of Israel did Jesus come from?
Read 2 Samuel 7:12-13, 16 and Isaiah 9:7
What does God tell David about his throne?
Read Luke 1:32-33 and Romans 1:1-3
Is Jesus a descendant of King David?
How does Jesus fulfill the prophecies in 2 Samuel 7:12-13 and Isaiah 9?
Things to note: King David was also a king from the tribe of Judah. The lineage of King David stayed intact throughout Israel’s rule, even when they were in captivity and didn’t have kings. How does what you have learned give you confidence Jesus is your Savior?
Do you believe He is the Messiah?
