The Promised King:
How Jesus’ Birth Fulfilled the Ancient Prophecies

Rhome van Dyck • December 18, 2024
Selections from Luke; Selections from Matthew

Nothing was more surprising than the birth of the long-expected Messiah. In fact, no one could comprehend what God was doing without some sort of angelic visitation to explain what was going on. The story of Jesus’ birth is very familiar. We’ve heard it for years. But Jesus didn’t come on any old day and in any old way. Both the timing and the humble setting of his birth were specific fulfillments from the prophets of old.

Join us in the Christmas season as we carefully examine the passages explaining Jesus’ birth from the promised birth of John the forerunner to the visit of the Magi from the East. Immerse yourself in the joy of the birth of the promised king.
