A few key points from Wednesday night:
-Jesus fulfilled 60 major prophecies from the Old Testament in regards to the Messiah (for example: born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, resurrection, etc). The statistical odds of 1 person being able to fulfill just 8 of these 60 prophecies is 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. Yep, not a typo.
-God publicly identified Jesus as his son on multiple occassions, including Jesus' baptism, which was to set an example for us.
- Jesus was both fully human and fully God. He had human limitations (hunger, pain, etc) but through the power of the Holy Spirit was able to perform miracles and testify to the truth that he was the son of God.
-Satan tried to test Jesus to trust in himself instead of God, his faith in God, and to glorify someone else instead of God. Jesus responded with scripture even as he was weak from 40 days of fasting. In our past stories, many people gave in to Satan's tricks (see Adam and Eve).
-The Holy Spirit was very active in our stories (Virgin birth, Jesus' baptism, Jesus' miracles).
What if we let the Holy Spirit take the lead in our lives?
