Volume 2016 Issue 4

Kurt’s Korner

I have heard it said that “home is where, when you go there, they have to take you in.” Jesus came “home” to his own people, and they wouldn’t take him in. He came to the people who should have known him best, and they wanted nothing to do with him. They should have known better. They knew he was coming—God had told them over and over again many times in many ways. They had ample warning. Even some pagan astrologers in Persia figured it out when they saw his star in the east (Matthew 2:1-5).

Moses said, “He’s coming.” David said, “He’s coming.” Isaiah said, “He’s coming.” Jeremiah said, “He’s coming.”

Daniel said, “He’s coming.” Micah said, “He’s coming.” Zechariah said, “He’s coming.” Malachi said, “He’s coming.”

Every book, every chapter, every page of the Old Testament testifies to one great truth—"He’s coming.” That’s the theme of the Old Testament—that God would one day send the Messiah to the earth to deliver his people Israel.

When Jesus finally arrived, they didn’t believe it. And some of them decided to put him to death.

So, with all that we have been talking about, it all comes down to our decision as to what we will do with Jesus and what we will do for Jesus. In His Service,
