John 12:9-19, Why We Pursue After Christ (Part 2): Jesus Fulfilled Scripture

Jesus fulfilled Scripture. Biblical prophecy is no mere foreknowledge. God does not portray Himself as the cosmic fortune teller who has mere super-human powers to predict accurately the future. Sovereign God reveals His plan before He brings it to pass to reveal His glory. In this sense, Jesus is the fulfillment of the plan and the purpose of God as revealed beforehand in Scripture. Jesus comes to His people Israel with humility and peace, endowed with salvation. This is why we pursue after Christ. He is the humble and peace-seeking Savior, who came to bring the nations peace with God and peace among men.
