>>> Third, the keen observation that Jesus never wrote anything himself.
Unlike our current date black jesus, who “wrote” two books then went on and became famous.
It wasn’t the miracles or even his words or to personally author some book that was his purpose coming to us,
It was that he came “according to the scriptures,” and ones long established to his then audience (Israel of 32 AD) and these same scriptures he very precisely fulfilled were widely acknowledged centuries before his arrival (even Herod’s ‘scholars’ knew where he was to be born) and he came to them at that time, and they were in that day a witness to it and it was for this purpose alone, and after this, seeing all this firsthand, Israel still did not understand, they willingly rejected their Messiah (also according to the scriptures) and today they remain blinded for a set time until that blindness is removed, and that day is still future even to our time.
Today we have been given the Holy Spirit, and he will bring us in and reveal things to us, bring to our remembrance, just as the gospels were written by this same help and guidance, he brings understanding and assembles and reveals like a cloud in our thoughts, those things which are still to come as it is written in the Prophets of the old testament and in the Psalms,
If any have not or will not receive the Holy Spirit, then what is written has far too much depth to take in or carry alone, and it will cause those refusing him while seeking answers to merely stumble about in the dark, and the truth will appear to them as nothing more than the words and accounts and deeds of men long dead, words to mean nothing more than to be debated over who actually said them, instead of what they reveal to us about the Prince of Life.
“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: “ 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. “ 1 Corinthians 15:17-19
