Fulfilling a Prophesy

Do not think I have come to abolish the law Or the Prophets I have come not to abolish But to fulfill. Matthew 5:17 Jewish history often chronicles religious persecution Violence Depression Yet Old Testament prophets offered hope with their stories of the coming of a Messiah This Messiah The prophets foretold Would free the Jewish people from their oppressors He would rule the Jewish world with compassion and mercy It’s probably to surprise that many Jews did not believe that Jesus was this hoped for Messiah He did not come to abolish the existing law He came to dulfill the Scriptures To promise salvation for believers He came with a powerful message of love Forgiveness Mercy He came to save us from sin and offer us path to everlasting Paul Pennick Turned to poetry: Jac R.
