12 17 17 Luke 2:8-20 What are the odds that one man would be able to meet just one prophecy? What are the odds that one man would meet just 8 Old Testament prophecies? Using the mathematical discipline of probability, Dr. Stoner calculates that it would be 10to the 157 power or 1 followed by 157 0s. Yet Christ in coming fulfilled not just 8 prophecies but 456 as Alfred Edersheim proposes. He is the babe wrapped in strips of cloth born in a stable of whom the angels proclaimed in order to save people from their sin. How unfortunate that most of whom the shepherds told about the birth of Messiah were preoccupied with other things. This Christmas will you respond like the shepherds with willing and receptive hearts or like others, too busy to hear and respond?
