Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures

"Jesus answered and said unto them (Sadducees), Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." (Matthew 22:29)

Do you know what the Scripture says about Jesus Christ, you and eternity? Jesus told the "religious" of His day, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures." Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the Scriptures - the prophets - spoke of His coming. The world should have known and welcomed Him, but their ignorance and blindness concerning the teaching of Scripture led them to fail to recognize who He was. The world was and is without excuse. Look what the Scriptures revealed about Christ long before He came: -

He would be of the tribe of Judah. (Genesis 49:9,10)-
He would be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2) -
He would be born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14)-
He would be called out of Egypt. (Hosea 11:1)-
He would come as a prophet. (Deuteronomy 18:18,19)-
His own people would reject Him. (Isaiah 53:3)-
He would make a triumphal entry into Jerusalem. (Zechariah 9:9)-
He would be sold for 30 pieces of silver. (Zechariah 11:12,13)-
He would be put to death by crucifixion. (Psalm 22)-
His hands and His feet would be pierced. (Psalm 22:16)-
Soldiers would cast lots for His clothing. (Psalm 22:18)-
He would be raised from the dead. (Psalm 16:9)-
He would ascend into heaven. (Psalm 68:18)(TCS - January 1993)
