Week 3: Seeing the Earthly Work of Jesus in the Old Testament Prophets
This week’s devotionals focus on how the Prophets described the future earthly work of the Messiah. From how He would be recognized (through healing and the miraculous power of the Spirit) to how He would be received (as a stumbling block to some, understanding by others), they spoke of a Messiah that would be discerned by those seeking God.
Jesus Himself would call to mind some of their more direct descriptions, whether as evidence in which John the Baptist would find hope, or as confirmation to the sermons He would share in the synagogues and by the waysides. The work of the Messiah as He walked the earth was to bring a glimpse of God’s restoring work to His people. The prophets foretold it and Jesus lived it.
