Heb 1:11  They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

Heb 1:12  And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Jesus explained how He was prophesized of. Jesus explained how all He had to suffer through was predicted. Our Savior told His followers about every single prophecy made concerning Him and He did it for a reason.  No other had come before Him and no other since Him has fulfilled all of those prophecies.  He and He alone is the fulfillment.   We need to know this because it is truth.

We need to understand that our Savior expounded on His being prophesized because it was something we'd need to know. Yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. 

Our Savior wants us to know of Him, all we can know of Him. We need to study of Him, not presume we know all there is to know of Him.

Please, to this end, Lord help us to learn of YOU.

Please Father, please bless my mother tomorrow as she undergoes surgery. Help Her, please Lord, help her.

By Your grace and love always!
