    A look at three prophetic passages that Jesus Christ would be born in Bethlehem, that he would be a great light shining in the darkness, that he would be "God with us" and that he would be Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor.

    When you look at the life of Jesus, He fulfills all 322 of the prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming of the Messiah. The odds of just 8 of the major prophecies being fulfilled by one person is 1 in 10 to the 17th power, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. And this is only 8 of them! To help ...read more
