Notes

Matthew 1:20-23 (ESV)
20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Twelve times Matthew will quote an Old Testament passage and then some form of: “to fulfill”.

Some say that 353 prophecies were accurately fulfilled in Jesus’ first coming.

The Life of Christ came with unprecedented Prophetic Precision.

Old Testament prophecies were partially fulfilled in the time they were given, but fully fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 2:14-15 (ESV)
14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Matthew quotes a verse from Hosea 11:1 and reveals that the slaughter of babies in Bethlehem during Jesus time was its fulfillment.

The reality is that, just like Mary, we are carrying the Christ within us.
And the reality is that, just like then, the Life of Christ in us will come with Prophetic Precision.

There is Prophetic Precision operating in your life if you have eyes to see.

Examples:
1) The Lord has had purpose through the genealogy of your family.
2) The Lord has had purpose in introducing himself to your generation through you carrying the Christ.
3) The Lord is fulfilling the purpose of your name in your life.
4) The Lord is precisely fulfilling prophetic purpose through your location that you live.
5) The Lord is fulfilling prophetic things said about you.

Let us marvel at the Prophetic Precision in the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

And let us open our eyes and marvel at the continuing Prophetic Precision of the Life of Christ through us.
