Prodigal: I love watching the fish.
Me: It is suppose to reduce blood pressure.
Prodigal: I feel relaxed.
Me: Good, maybe this will help you with some praise.
This is from the book The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, prophets foretold the coming of the Messiah, or the Anointed One, who would redeem God’s people. In effect, dozens of these Old Testament prophecies created a fingerprint that only the true Messiah could fit. This gave Israel a way to rule out impostors and validate the credentials of the authentic Messiah. Against astronomical odds–one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion–Jesus, and only Jesus throughout history, matched this prophetic fingerprint. This confirms Jesus’ identity to an incredible degree of certainty.
Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Ecclesiastes 1:10
