Christ as the fulfillment of God's promises

Esdras 1:1–11 (NEG79)

1 La première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s'accomplisse la parole de l'Eternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, l'Eternel réveilla l'esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit faire de vive voix et par écrit cette publication dans tout son royaume:

In the person of Jesus Christ, God entered into our history (John 1:14). He lived a perfect life on our behalf. He is the promised Messiah of God who came to crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). Through his death on the cross he paid for the sins of all God’s people, just as God had promised he would (Isaiah 53:1–12).

All the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). Jesus Christ is proof that God is at work in history to keep his promises.
