For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, recognizing neither Him [Jesus] nor the declarations of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him. And though they found no grounds for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be executed. When they had carried out everything that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the Cross and laid Him in a tomb. (Acts 13:27-29)
The prophetic words about Jesus were fulfilled by people who didn’t even realize they were fulfilling God’s pre-ordained plan! It is still true today: Nothing can thwart or delay God’s design, and people are still unwittingly fulfilling that design.
God always gets the final word, the decisive word, and the best word.
Here is an example from the public ministry of Jesus: A Christlike Response To Skeptics.
Jesus is fulfilling every promise that His Father made, so we can live confidently and joyfully in that assurance. Check out my post Walking Boldly In Dark Places.
